Tis The Season To Party...
Earlier this year I set a limit on the nights I'm allowed to spend "out" partying, and by partying I just mean not having a night at home. It is the first year since year 12 that I have had two or more nights a week free!
But since it's Christmas time, I have reneged on my deal with myself, and instead am going to get all my partying out of the way for next year...
This weekend, the first this summer, I have been to three "parties" with the potential for more. (I wasn't invited to a "friend's" party - thanks a lot Josh Manson). Two saturday tea parties - one with friends and one hosted by me! for my mum and her friends - and a lovely after church dinner tonight hosted by the latest marrieds, Ben and Jess.

I just love it when two hospitable people marry each other. They are my role models. I aspire to be the type of family that has an open house where people are welcomed, fed, and have fellowship. And go on evening strolls with their friends. And go on chalk chases.
Romans 12:9-13 ~ Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
So I am looking forward to this next "party" month, for the new friends I'll meet, the old friends I will get to catch up with, and the parties I will throw...
