HOSPITABLE WELCOME – (Day 6 of 6)
(Need to start at the beginning? Day 1)
Hospitality is both commanded and commended in the Bible.
Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God. Romans 15:7 ESV
Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. 1 Peter 4:9 ESV
Given that we’re all supposed to do it, I don’t think it should necessarily cost a bundle or require copious personal abilities. I figure it is mostly about heart attitudes and then we follow through with what the Lord has given us in time, money, and talent. We can, of course, practice and grow in our ability to welcome folks.
I’ve been thinking about this attitude applied toward my spouse.
Have you ever walked into a home and you were tempted to walk right back out? For whatever reason, the home did not make you feel comfortable or welcome. I don’t want that to ever be the case for my sweetie. I want him to walk in the door and settle in with a big ahhhhh.
How did you do this week? What did you learn? What does your spouse need to feel more at home in your home?
My hubby is so stoked. All winter, he will get to enjoy jalapeños that we grew and canned ourselves.
I’m not a fan of the heat, but I love how pretty they look. 🙂
