The hosts’ home was proclaimed to be both beautiful and
comfortable. The guests exclaimed over the pets, enjoyed the outdoor tour of
the property, and exulted over the take-out pizza. Prayer requests were shared;
lively conversations took place; books and the Bible were discussed. And this
pleasant gathering ended happily with hugs and waves goodbye.
Hospitality is a good gift, but so is the gift of being a
gracious guest.
When we visit others, perhaps we can offer a hardy
handshake, a smile, an attitude of gratitude. After all, serving a gracious
guest can lighten the load of a timid or harried host, filling the heart with
delight.
