31 Days to a Heart of Hospitality {an ebook for you}

January 21, 2013 by Edie Wadsworth 114 Comments

Since I can’t bake you a pie and whisk you off to my screened porch for a good cup of a coffee and a long chat, this ebook  is the next best thing.

This work is born out of heartache.  When we lost our house to fire 2 years ago, I wasn’t sure I’d ever recover.

I sat in our driveway and watched our dreams burn to the ground.

I grieved so many things and felt loss like I’d never known.

I cried out for answers.  Why us?  Why this?

But our suffering isn’t lost on our Father.  It’s only His grace in disguise.

And He will twist every heartache into joy.

While we worked hard to rebuild the bricks and mortar, He went to work on our stone hearts.

The truth is, we don’t have to lose everything to feel our poverty.  We sense it in the depths of our souls.

It’s all just rubble.  And our card houses teeter on disaster.  We’re all a mess, house fire or not.

We know we need  someone——-someone who knows us and loves us in spite of ourselves.

That is the hospitality of scripture.

That is the warm welcome we receive from Christ himself.

Hospitality isn’t about inviting people into our perfect homes, it’s about inviting them into our imperfect hearts.

It’s about learning to live from that vulnerable place where we open ourselves to love.

And ultimately, it’s about Him—-The perfect Host who provides for everything we sinners need, right down to the best wine for the wedding feast.

This ebook is for anyone who has felt his own poverty and known the redemption of being loved anyway.

This is hospitality, on purpose.

    Some things that have changed since I read your 31 Days to Hospitality on the blog:
    Making bread regularly (it didn’t start out very well)
    Creating a baking center
    Inviting friends over for dinner
    Baking treats for my family
    Delivering cinnamon rolls to friends

    Hi Edie,
    So excited to read your ebook! BUT I ordered it and never received anything to download. I have my receipt from Paypal (although I used my credit card on their form) but there is nowhere to download the file. Should I have received an email from you with the download? Maybe I am just too impatient in thinking that it would be instantly there. Maybe it takes time for you to review? Anyway, I look forward to finding out how to open it. Thank you! You are a blessing!

    Edie,
    My life has been turned upide down by a tradegy of a different kind. The past 7 months have been hard to say the least. Your blog has been a great source for me to turn to because your words seem to sooth my soul. I cannot wait to read your ebook, I need to read it…….Free would be fantastic because I cannot begin to even explain our situation. All I know is that my husband is fighting luekemia without a good prognosis. I have learned that I am suppose to somehow help others in similar situations but not sure how at the moment. I love seeinghow you and your family have been rebirthed after the fire……It’s very inspiring to know someday my family can experience it as well.
    Love to you!!!

    God had His hand on you and your family and He rescued all of you for a purpose. There is always room for us to grow and learn, no matter our age. It is wonderful when we open up and let God create within us the opportunity to serve others and that, my friend, is what hospitality is all about. He will use our deepest pain for His gain. You are such a blessing to many and so many lives have been touched through your blog. Thanks, Edie!

It always amazes me how God uses people to speak to me in moments I need them. Your series on hospitality blessed and blessed again as I read and re-read your posts. I can’t wait to get the e-book.

    “Hospitality isn’t about inviting people into our perfect homes, it’s about inviting them into our imperfect hearts.”

    I have been turned inside out with your series and I can’t wait to read through the ebook with fresh eyes and an open heart to what the Lord wants to do in my own soul in regards to opening up my imperfect life to others.

    Hi! This is amazing….your ebook and the fact that you are here on my computer! A few days ago, I was thinking about all the great blogs out there in blogland and thought of you…wondering what happened after the fire and how you all were and where you were. I must (for some dratted reason) erased your blog somewhere along the way as I could not find it. It kept nagging away at me…wondering wondering…and lo and behold I opened up Perfectly Imperfect and there you were! I am so glad that you are doing well and as I am out of town right now, I will download your ebook when I return home. It looks GREAT!

    Help! Edie can you add a “NOTE” to this post that explains what to do once you’ve paid for the ebook and are waiting for an email with a download? Thank you, looking forward to reading it all.

    I just bought it and can’t wait to read it!! I’m so happy for you and inspired.
    Heather, is really bumming me out about not going to Blissdom this year. You guys have a little extra fun for me! (I will be in Dallas the week before visiting family, so the Hubs won’t go for it!)
    Hugs,

    How like our Lord and Savior to make something so beautiful out of such an ugly time.
    He has certainly made beauty from the ashes.
    You are a wonderful example of allowing the Lord to refine one and bring out the beauty that was there all along and use it to minister to others. One either hardens the heart and becomes bitter after a tragedy or allows the Lord to refine oneself and come out on the other side wiser and full of His love.

    Thank you for passing along your gift of hospitality through this lovely e-book.

    I very, very rarely purchase ebooks because our budget is super-tight these days and I don’t have a lot of money to spend on extra “fun” stuff. But this looks like a wonderful read! I saw the link at The Nester’s place and had to hop over to find out more. Can’t wait to read this one, Edie. 🙂 I think this book will be a blessing to a lot of people. 🙂

    I just purchased it and once I gently pry my iPad away from my children, I will sit down and make my heart and home ready for those I love. Best wishes for you! Found you through Flower Patch Farmgirl. I’ve already invited her over for a nap on my couch and scones afterwards. 🙂

    No more excuses that your late because of traffic buildup.
    While these trends are being done mostly by modern car enthusiasts, car purists tend to be stricter on the restoration process.
    Each of them also feature a silent-design cam drive for a quiet and comfortable operation and a fail-safe cooling system;
    they’re also flex-fuel-capable, which basically implies that they’re capable of working
    on E85, unleaded gasoline or a mixture of both.

    I was curious if you ever thought of changing the structure of
    your site? Its very well written; I love what youve
    got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only
    having 1 or two pictures. Maybe you could space it
    out better?

2 years ago today, your world shattered into a mil 2 years ago today, your world shattered into a million pieces.

Sometimes I marvel at how we were blessed enough to be there holding you when it all came crashing down. I do know this—I can’t remember my life without you.

I do know that thousands of tears and meals and boo-boos and toy trucks later, we stand in awe of you---your courage, your brave big boy fight, your tender little boy heart, your hilarious old man ways. 

We know how sacred this walk with you is and we don’t take it lightly.

We are here for it all and we couldn’t be more grateful.

We have always loved you and you have always been our special gift.

 Love you little one. Let’s keep listening for Aslan. He will find a way to put everything back together.

I turned 51 last week and spent a much needed few I turned 51 last week and spent a much needed few days alone with this guy.  As soon as we drove out of the driveway I started crying. I don’t think I realized how much I needed a break.

it was incredible and relaxing and amazing and so life-giving. 

this week it feels like last week was 100 years ago because you know, life. 

I am excited to say that despite the fact that I’m another year older I managed to figure out how to go live on YouTube with my new camera. It only took me approximately 6000 hours. So maybe you’ll join me at noon today on YouTube and we’ll try something new together.

Here’s to 2021. Maybe it will get its act together but if it doesn’t we will get ours together😂🥳❤️❤️❤️
“To have Faith in Christ means, of course, tryin “To have Faith in Christ means, of course, trying to do all that He says. There would be no sense in saying you trusted a person if you would not take his advice. Thus if you have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him. But trying in a new way, a less worried way. Not doing these things in order to be saved, but because He has begun to save you already. Not hoping to get to Heaven as a reward for your actions, but inevitably wanting to act in a certain way because a first faint gleam of Heaven is already inside you.”

We took Tommy boy for this first ski adventure tod We took Tommy boy for this first ski adventure today and it was so satisfying to see him tackle something hard and keep his chin up and have a BALL doing it.

He was very entertaining to his ski school friends, despite the fact that his German instructor couldn’t understand a WORD he said. 😂🥳

But all you mamas out there can see through all the pretty pictures and videos to know that days like today can also be full of frustration.

Making sure everybody has their stuff, the reservations, the snacks, the HASSLE of boots and poles and gloves and skis, the tears, the snappy replies, the hurt feelings, the wrong turns, the missed moments, the potty breaks.

NEED I GO ON??????

But then there’s the down to your soul goodness of being smack dab in the middle of God’s glorious creation, the sheer joy of the wind and sun on your face, the fleeting feeling that everything is right in the world, the triumph of tackling something hard and pushing through all the doubt and fear.

I felt every emotion today. What a privilege to live this life we’ve been given. What grace to live it with these people.

Today was a dream. But like every dream come true, it has a cost, it requires more of you than you think it will. You will want to quit.  A million times.  But what waits for you on the other side is worth fighting for. 

That’s what we’re diving into this week in my online workshop LIVE YOUR DREAM.

You may have given up on setting goals, but don’t stop dreaming.

Come dream with us and let’s make 2021 the year we were willing to be so alive that we would risk feeling EVERY emotion, every setback, every failure in order to see it come true.

We start tomorrow.

It won’t be the same without you.

Join us at https://lifeingraceblog.com/dream.

It’s time to dream again.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

What’s one thing you’re dreaming about this year???
It was magical. ⛄️⛄️⛄️ Know what’s It was magical. ⛄️⛄️⛄️

Know what’s more magical for me???? The week between Christmas and the new year and I’ve made it even more epic by hosting an online workshop called LIVE YOUR DREAM🥳🥳🥳🥳
