Manage episode 461057943 series 3582484
What comes to mind when you think of hospitality? Many people immediately respond with, "I don't have time" or "It's not my gift," but what if hospitality is more than just entertaining? What if practicing hospitality is truly an act of grace?
In this episode of Living the Grace Life, host Jennifer Sakata talks with Sue Donaldson, a speaker, author, and podcast host known for her passion for hospitality. Sue, affectionately known as the "mayor" of her neighborhood, models authentic hospitality that reflects God's love and grace.
Sue explains the difference between hospitality and entertainment, encouraging listeners to focus on the person in front of them and the purpose of serving their needs. She offers four practical tips for embracing hospitality with grace:
- start small
- keep it simple
- use your own style
- welcome with a servant's heart.
Join Jennifer and Sue for actionable advice on moving beyond entertaining to practicing hospitality as a meaningful expression of grace.
Sue and her husband Mark have raised three daughters who keep them at the bank and on their knees.
Grace quotes from Sue Donaldson:
"We practice doing what God wants us to do. And the best part is, we learn how great God is."
"When you practice hospitality, you no longer think about yourself. You think about your guest."
"The ultimate thing is to realize that God is in control; it's Jesus that does the work."
