Verse to Pray for Our Home
Proverbs 31:20
“She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.”
Prayer:
May my arms be open and my hands serving others. May that be said of our family. May our home be a place where others know they are loved and welcome.

I would LOVE to hear from you in the comments! How are you liking the book? What struck you the most??
“American spirituality is basically consumer spirituality. God is a product with incredible benefits. God helps us live well, live healthfully, be prosperous and emotionally strong. God is like a great motivational speaker or talk show host who offers a banquet of options for successful spirituality….We are caught up in what is probably the most immature attempt at spirituality humanity seen. It is a spirituality that seeks improvement for life – a better me, a better relationship – but it does not seek God and it does not move us toward others. It seems benefit rather than relationship.” Radical Hospitality, p. 71
Well, that pretty much says it all, doesn’t it? What do you think practical steps would be to help our own hearts not be so materialistic and consumer-driven? How can we enjoy and love God {and others!} for who they are and not what they will give us?
