home blessing

recently our pastor stopped by to bless our home. and it was a wonderful occasion in that we were reminded that God has given us this house as a gift. and it is my thought that dp and i are meant to utilize it as a place where we can be hospitable to people- friends and strangers. and it was a nice reminder that though we could update and upgrade as much as we want in the home, if the end result doesn't serve to make us and others feel "warm" and happy then why do it? why have a home that we can show off that looks amazing and has the latest and greatest (not that we could afford that anyway, haha)? what purposes does that serve? his visit was just a grounding moment for dp and i to marinade in this thought and to always remember to focus on God when making decisions.
