Questions I ask myself...

Here is where the Lord has brought me. I look at each wonderfully, creative idea that pops into my brain and I say to myself, "Will this help my guest have a better time? Will this meet a need of my guest? Will this make my guest more comfortable?  Do I want to do this idea just to illicit a complimentary response from people? Do I want to do this idea because everyone will say how creative I am?" Usually, the answers are pretty obvious to me and although, my flesh doesn't like to be "shown up" by nicer parties with prettier, more coordinated decorations, I opt for the simpler route, trying always to keep the guests in mind.
