You make your home comfy
Clean and uncluttered at best
Candles and flowers set an aura
So nice to invite a guest

Your home reveals your personality
Little things make it a home
Designed just for you
Food makes it special, ham off the bone

Preset your table the night before
So when your guests arrive
You can spend time visiting
Then they won’t feel deprived

Special cakes, cookies and treats
Set off the dinner too
They’ll always remember your courtesy
And want to be invited back again to see you

Visiting is an art, and so is entertaining
Asking your guests what’s new in their lives
Makes them feel relaxed, and shows you care
Treat each guest special when they arrive

You were taught, with regard to your former
way of life, to put off your old self; which is
being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to
be made new in the attitude of your minds;
and to put on the new self, created to be like
God in true righteousness and holiness.
Ephesians 4:22-24
