Being Hospitable with What You Possess...

Leviticus 19:34...You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

Ma and Pa decided to tidy up the trailer and open up a small hospitable place for passerby-ers to stop fer the night...a sort of Bed and Breakfast, but having such a small trailer home, Ma hung out the sign next to the bug zapper on the front porch that simply said, "Ma's Biscuit and a Blanket".

When visitors come a-visitin' you should give what you have to make them comfortable. If all you have is some bisquick and worn blankets. The Bible tells us to "by being hospitable to strangers, many have entertained Angels unaware."

Lord, help us to take what little or what lot we have and use it to treat those that we meet or that come into our lifes in the hospitable way you would treat us.
