Ashlyn- I’m at loss for words to tell you just how awesome your videos are! Some people’s videos make me want to clean, some make me want to cook, but yours make me want to be a better person in this world, to be true to who God has made me to be and to live in his purpose for me.

The ending message touched my heart and spoke to my soul. Beautifully said Mrs. Carter ! I love that you pray over your home prior to the gathering ❤️

Ashlyn, thank you so much for the timely reminder! I imagine you have read “The Nesting Place.” One of favorite books! You have made it look effortless (which I know it isn’t) ;) but yet doable to so many of us! I know often times, so many of us don’t want to welcome people in because our house isn’t clean or we’re not good cooks. but if can get past that and remember what’s most important...making people feel loved and appreciated❤️ Thanks for living it out and showing us in practical ways how we can do the same!

This menu idea helped. Having middle sons Grad Party real soon and we are serving chipotle style food. Fun Ashlyn. Thanks!

You are so inspiring I strive to be as genuinely generous as you

Oh man. Would have loved to the buffet table set up with all the food.

Love this! People are just happy to be invited over for a meal. 😘 I always get nervous too, but in a good way. I actually love thinking about and planning all the little details. Always wanted to own a big piece of property with a barn that people can rent out for weddings, etc. 💕💕💕 I'm hoping you will do a garden tour this summer! Thank you for the video! ~blessings~

Prerfect menu Ashlyn and your pure and giving heart for Jesus. You’re such an inspiration in every way! God bless you and the family 🤗

This video came at a great time, I was just planning a little girls get together at my home and I want it to be simple but really special. I think it's so important to bring people together, so many lonely people out there. ☮️

Thank you for this reminder. As a new mommy with a spunky 10 month old, it's been a little daunting to open our home to others either because I don't want our routine to get disrupted or I don't wanna be judged for my messy home. But it's true that opening your home to others is a ministry in itself and really allows you to show love to others.

We make those beans all the time after watching the first video you shared about them! So delicious!!

[evievalenz]

Thanks so much for sharing! Great reminder to just do and it doesn't have to be perfect. Blessings to you and those who enter your home:)
