Hospitality Tuesday: Always Be Prepared

"Use hospitality one to another without grudging. As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God." 1 Peter 4:9-10

I want you to stop and think right now: What if something happened to someone you know. A sudden illness, a family death, anything unexpected that disrupted their family. How could you show hospitality to them? 

The most common answer is to bring them a hot meal so they don't have to worry about cooking or cleaning up pots and pans.


A tip that I have found beneficial for unexpected opportunities to show hospitality is this:

Keep a good stock of those disposable casserole and pie pans on hand. 

That way there is no rushing to the store, and little chance to quench the Spirit by saying, "No, I just don't have the supplies I need."


What are some other ways that you show hospitality to others?
