3 Truths to Remember As You Practice Hospitality this Season

For several years when I was a kid, my parents hosted big New Years’ Eve parties. They weren’t fancy or elaborate, but they were full of people. All of our friends and their families were invited, a mix of adults, teenagers, and younger kids in one house. About 9pm, people descended on our home to laugh, play games, drink root beer floats, eat snacks, and count down to the new year.

Stewarding the Gift of Sleep

I used to stay up until the early morning hours when my family got together for holidays. The night before Thanksgiving, a few of us would prepare stuffing and turkey for the next day while others chatted around the table in the eat-in kitchen. Late on Christmas nights, we’d sip leftover eggnog and eat the final few slices of Swedish Tea Ring while we laughed, cried, and told all the same stories we’ve been telling for years.

We’d Like Some Answers

The other night, my husband and I were watching The Chosen, and one of my favorite things about this show is how it depicts the disciples wrestling with what Jesus is doing (or not doing) and why certain events and struggles happen. Why doesn't he heal everyone? Why did he allow Lazarus to die? Why did he only raise Lazarus and no one else?

These kinds of questions have been around for thousands of years. And I'm not sure we've gotten much closer to an answer, at least not one that satisfies our human need for closure.

Maybe Fulfillment Comes in Commitment, Not Endless Options

I recently came across a commencement speech given by New York Times columnist David Brooks. He addressed Dartmouth's 2015 graduating class, noting that for so many people, their goal in life, their vision of fulfillment, is freedom–freedom to do whatever you want, freedom to achieve anything, freedom to choose your way of life or your partner or your career.

MEET SARAH

Hi Friend! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Sarah—wife to Colson, mama of four (boy-girl twins and two more boys), writer, speaker, and omnivore.

We could all probably use a bit of nourishment. How can we live joyfully and remain steady if our souls are starving? Psalm 107:9 says, “For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things.” My prayer is that what I share here I can help set the proverbial table so you can be refreshed and refilled as you taste the goodness of God.

about me

What if, even when life is hard, we didn’t have to feel overloaded by our burdens? What if, even when our tears weigh heavy, our souls could be light?

Through honest stories and a deep look at Scripture, All Who Are Weary shows us that rest doesn't depend on our circumstances. It depends on our God.
