HOSPITALITY
I Peter 4:9
"Be hospitable to one another without grumbling."
It seems to me that hospitality may be on its way to join the dinosaurs – headed for extinction. In past times, people would feel free to just drop by for a visit on the spur of the moment. And the host would say, "Why don't you stay for dinner?" In the present society, you must phone to make an appointment. And if there is a meal, it is at a restaurant. I almost feel like I am imposing on people if I just stop to visit. I can almost hear the grumbling and complaining because people feel forced to let me in their house as an obligation. Hospitality does not depend on a clean house or a well-cooked meal. It come from an open heart that makes others feel welcome in my life.
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: God's people should be hospitable to others with an open heart.
[end]
Have a hospitable day. Love you.
P.S.: Sorry I missed yesterday. I had a house emergency that took about 9 hours to fix.
