14 Scriptures About Peace
December 19, 2020|In Bible|By Admin It hasn’t been easy. Not for me and not for most. That’s why I wanted us to spend the last 2 weeks of 2020 meditating on the peace that God has given to us. Worry, fear, conspiracy, hopelessness, loss, loneliness and isolation, are just a few of the words frequently used in the present-day ether. But, as women of God that is not how we are called to live. Below I have posted a scripture on peace for you to focus on…
From Loneliness to Vulnerability – By Rhianne O’Rourke
Cold cups of tea I grew up in a big family. I’m the oldest of 4 and we constantly had lodgers and students and foreign exchange kids come through our doors. I was most definitely used to noise. I moved to a new city after getting married and was not prepared for how quiet my life suddenly felt. I got married before I started university, so right off the bat I was that weird student who married young. We were the youngest in our church by a long way, and it wasn’t until 6 months after we were…

God Has The Final Say
Today is trash day at our house. Dedicated waste disposal men come past the Adams home every Thursday in two sets. The first to grab our recycling and the second for our general waste. I dread to think of the consequences if the waste disposal men didn't attend for several weeks. Imagine how cluttered, gross and stinky our home would get. Eww! Can you imagine that rotten bin smell? So, every Wednesday night (or, if we forfget, early Thursday morning) my husband or I walk around the house,…
101 Things to Do (With or Without The Kids) When You Feel Stuck At Home
Finding Hope Regardless of What We See & Hear At the beginning of 2020, we declared the core theme for The Hope Table Sisterhood would be 'friendship'. The problem is most of us can't even see or visit our friends right now! With countries slowly clamping into lockdown, kids being sent home from school, people being told to self-isolate and advised get to grips with social-distancing for the foreseeable future, we might not have the joy of entertaining one another in-person for a while. Do…

Hope Dealer of the Month – Megan Hansel
Hi sweet sisters! My name is Megan Hansel, and we are about to get real, VERY FAST!I am a picture of God’s grace as a wife and momma. Fun fact, I grew up never wanting to be a wife or a mom. I wanted to CLIMB the corporate ladder and be that “bossbabe” that needed NO one and no man. I never knew what I wanted out of life except to be SOMEONE in corporate America. Three summers, I worked at a camp for special needs kids and adults. It changed everything about me. I learned unconditional love…
Becoming a friend you want to be friends with – By Ammie Black
What would it look like to become a friend you would want to be friends with? Do you have a criteria in mind? An "ideal" friend, maybe? Childhood Friendships vs Adult Friendships Consider kids. Most kids make friends rather easily. They meet someone new, and in 5 minutes they're playing and laughing together like they've always known each other. As adults though, friendships get harder to come by. There are various reasons for this. Work and home responsibilities may not leave much time for…
An Exploration of Friendship in 2020 – The Hope Table
I tossed my head back with roaring belly-laughter taking me from one position on the sofa to another as I spoke to my sister-cousin on the phone. I could hear she matched my mirthful euphoria with her equally bellowing laughter as we shared views on my plan to explore the 'F' word in 2020. As we chatted about the 'F' word, mixed in with the harder and challenging elements and questions, were jokes and memories that sparked this heart-tickling joy! Both the good and the lousy of the 'f' word…
