Showing Hospitality

Myself sharing my food with a total stranger

This is happened to be one of the best contest this week, hospitality is what a lot of people lack not knowing what comes out from it. You will go to church and a member that you know you can render help to one day will see you and will be waiting for you to greet him or her, at times they will raise their face up pretending they didn't see you.
So it is very good to show hospitality to people because you might need them one one.

Hospitality is refer to an act were one is been received with a friendly manner, it is just like going to an unknown destination or a reception and you were welcome as if you are known over there. They were they bond with you and you also reciprocate by interacting with them freely without even knowing them before.

In a world where the lines between helper and victim can sometimes be annoying, the question now is: should we continue to show hospitality?

To the best of my knowledge I think yes, we should continue to show hospitality no matter what we encounter on the process, it is all about understanding and you might not really know what tomorrow will bring, having that connection today might be something that will save you tomorrow. I have a friend that is not doing anything at the moment, but because of how friendly she is with people, a lot of them became friends with her and now the dash her money and she was able to get a business for herself, they even bought a n iPhone 15 pro Max.
So no matter what the situation continue showing hospitality to people because of future sake.

I can remember one unforgettable hospitality that I experience, it was some years back and this was like 12 years ago, I have never enter flight before so this particular day wasn't first time of going to lagos and I booked for my flight, reaching the airport, I didn't know my left to right now until a guy walk down to me because he noticed I was a novice in this aspect, so he showed were to seat until my flight time, so his own time and mind was the same and we were all going to lagos, so when it was time, he still showed were the plane was and inside the plane I was cold and he remove his suit for me to put on. He didn't even stop there, when I reach lagos he booked an Uber taxi for me and he make sure that I was save. This is someone I have never met before.

For sure I am very much a hospitality person, people around me knows that, if any one visit me that person will be well received, even if I don't know the person, going to an occasion that is been organized by my family, I will make sure that all the visitors are well taken care of and I will make sure I entertain them with what ever that is available at that particular time.
Even in my church, a lot of people knows me to be that hospitality person, because I don't keep straight face, I keep a smiling face so that who ever that wants to come close to me will be welcome.

When Showing hospitality to people one has to be very genuine, you don't have to fake your look because if you fake it at some time you be able to continue faking so it requires one to be very genuine, welcome people with your whole heart, make them feel very comfortable. Is just a simple thing to do, walk down to people with a smiling face and then greet them with a very respectful manner, with that the person will feel at home.

Like what I did last month in one of my church program, a certain man needed the program of the event and he was a visitor, I was at the choir stand that's the front seat and the man was in front of the choir, so he ask the user to help him with her problem, and I noticed that the usher refused, so what I did was to handle over my own to him and he was so happy and he told me God will bless me and I accepted the prayer. So welcoming someone with a clear mind will show how hospitality you are and the person will be comfortable around you.

hospitality is one of our social life that tells a lot about us in the public, with just a simple hospitality, it can connect one to a better place in future.
