I have been learning a lot lately as it pertains to my heart and home. We recently had a small group of friends over for dinner and a movie, and I had a small revelation. To be who I am…to open my heart and home to people who are uplifting and available…and to let everything else go. We did not serve anything fancy…just breakfast for dinner. Because I had a box of pancake mix…leftover muffins, tater tots, and potatoes in the freezer…and some fruit. We had a tight grocery bill this week and I couldn’t rationalize spending more money. Because our budget is a priority…but it shouldn’t stop us from inviting people into our home. It doesn’t have to be perfect. And through this, I found freedom to be myself. Our friends had no more than a days notice, but they came. They were available. They want to spend time with us. These are the types of friends I need in my life. Friends who aren’t overly busy. Friends who accept me as I am. Friends who uplift. No more disappointment. No more impressing. Just being.
