I like watching HGTV with my wife every now and then. They have some neat shows. But one of the things that really gets my goat when watching "House Hunters" is that every now and then some young couple will turn there nose up at a house because they cannot see themselves being able to "Entertain" there friends in this space. Hey, if I would to be entertained in my home I simply have the grand kids over. They are always good for a laugh or two!
But now on the flip side is this word, this Godly Trait called "Hospitality". It is much more then simply having friends over for dinner. Hospitality is welcoming people into your life. It is opening your home, your Church and your arms to people around you. It is a warm smile and a firm handshake. It is a Hug that offers hope and a kind word that Builds up. It is knowing your neighbors and those you sit with in church. It is ministering to those in need, even if you do not know there name. Hospitality is a Christ like gift that I see slowly disappearing from we Christians as we allow ourselves to get to busy in our lives. Consider today how Christ is calling you to share Hospitality to some one around you. It will be like a breathe of fresh air.
"Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing so some have entertained angels without knowing it" Hebrews 13:2 Love ya' All Pastor Rick Koch - Dutchtown Church
