Each hosting experience has changed my family in some manner. There are experiences that have been good, some that have been bad and some that have been downright ugly. We all have been there. The good experiences have left me feeling blessed and grateful and always praying for more. These guests return from time-to-time. This is extra special to my family as it says so much. It lets us know that we must be doing something right and that what we are doing is worth it. Don’t give up, don’t give up!
The bad and ugly are different breeds, as you all are aware. Each of these experiences have taught us a lesson or two. It may have been anything from not being so naive or adding something to the home to increase safety. There was always something we could learn from the situation. There have been holes in the wall, broken pool gates, trash throughout the house, candle wax on comforters, and so on. The stories told by the housekeeper could go on all night. I might lose my mind before it’s over!
The good, bad or ugly will always be there. We have learned to deal with what has already happened and move on. We may not know how to deal with the things that are to come but we will always pick up the pieces and do it over again. Merry Christmas y’all!
