“Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” Hebrews 13:2
For many of us the thought of having people just drop by unannounced makes you concerned of what they are going to think of your messy house if it is one of those type days. Guess what. People are not coming to judge you or grade you or do a photo shoot for House Beautiful magazine.
Your home is the place you need to feel comfortable and be able to make others feel welcome too. The days of dropping over for a cup of coffee or just to chat are pretty much behind us which is sad. You can tell allot about people by their homes too although once again your job is not to judge but to be a friend and guest.
Don’t stress over perfection and don’t compare your living space to another’s. Be thankful for your home and keep it comfortable and clean for your spouse for this honors God. Each person is gifted in different ways so keep that in mind and tell those dust bunnies to beware cause company is coming!!
PRAYER: Father help me to relax in the environment you have provided for me and to keep it neat and orderly. But help me not run and hide if the doorbell rings for that rare drop in visitor. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
