Hospitality

Read Luke 7-9

Luke 7:44 "And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head."

A good guest tries to fit into the host’s plans and not need special accommodations. But a good hostess wants to spread out the hospitality welcome mat for her guests, no matter what accommodations are needed.

First, we want to know if our guests have any food allergies, since it will not do our reputations any good to have our guests depart in ambulances. Next, we want to know what preferences our guests may have—for instance, are they crazy about cashews?

Lastly, we may want to show off a bit. We might try a new recipe or prepare a gourmet dish that will make our guests’ remember their visit for years.
