FAITH BARISTA'S BLOG ANNIVERSARY IS HERE ! ** LIFEGIVING BOOK GIVEAWAY ** To celebrate, I'm giving away a book that has been inspirational to me. This faith-encouraging book by Tammy Maltby is about living a beautiful life. Enter the Lifegiving Book Giveway At The End Of Today's Post ! * Congratulations to By Grace Alone Giveaway winner #114 - Jeri T.*
Today, I have a treat for us.
A special friend who has encouraged me in my faith journey is here to help celebrate the blog’s anniversary.
That’s right. Speaker, author, and media personality, Tammy Maltby from The Lifegiving Woman, is in the house as guest barista!
I first met Tammy through her faith-inspiring book Lifegiving: Discovering Secrets to a Beautiful Life.
I was feeling drained and discouraged. Why did God put all these passions in me, without the opportunity to fulfill them?
I was a thirty-something mom, touting a three-year-old and newborn boys, encountering a crisis of faith. Tammy’s book reminded me I already had what I needed to be lifegiving: my faith. She got me brainstorming.
How can I express God’s unique lifegiving ways in me — my personality, quirkiness, things I loved and things I didn’t — right where I’m at now?
One of them was writing. Another was hospitality.
Now, before you think I’m Miss Martha Stewart wanna-be, lemme stop and allow Tammy to share her encouragement on hospitality.
As you read her words, don’t just limit hospitality to food.
Hospitality to me also meant words and writing. It was one of the inspirations behind Faith Barista. I wanted to create a welcoming place where your journey of faith is valued and celebrated.
To you, hospitality can mean something else.
God’s lifegiving expression… Uniquely yours…
Okay. Enough talking by me.
Tammy, thank you for being here to serve up a special faith brew.

“Finding Your Own Style of Hospitality”
by Tammy Maltby
My friend Lynn Brown is one of most hospitable women I know.
She entertains frequently, hosts Bible studies in her home, and is always inviting someone over for a snack. Her motto is “have a cookie, make a friend.” She and her husband often open their home to young women who need special nurturing. I’ve seen so many lives transformed through Lynn’s ministry of hospitality.
But it almost didn’t happen…
Please ck on Bonnie's blog to enjoy the rest of the story….and recipe for the day!
