Treat Them Like Royalty

Oh my, company is coming!!!

So the ritual begins…

You clean the house…Fresh towels in the bathroom, clean linens on the bed, scrub the commodes, spray a few squirts of room freshener and light a candle.
Then you begin meal preparation…Plan the menu, buy the food, bake a dessert, and pull out your best dishes…

Whoah…Wait!!!

While you want your company to feel at home, comfortable, and be impressed, I ask what about the ones you love and live with; those who are your world? Routinely we should do the very things for our family we typically do for company because after all aren’t they the most important people in your world and don’t you want them to know it?

Here are a few ideas to make your family feel special:

Put out fresh towels in the bathroom for your children
Routinely change their linens
Place a vase of fresh-cut flowers next to their bed with a love note on their pillow
Burn a candle
Turn off the TV and turn on some music
Served a sit down meal on your best dishes
Bake some cookies
Put a roast, chicken, or ham in the oven so the house if filled with the aroma of a home cooked meal

Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms. 1Peter 4:10

Do for your family what you would do for company…
