For as long as she could
remember she loved
inviting strangers
to her home for a meal.
She lived by these words,
“Do not forget to entertain
Strangers, for by so doing
some have unwittingly entertained
Angels.”
As she served them, she shared
her faith. She wanted them
to know that there was a
God in heaven who loved
them.
Many of them were
touched by her hospitality.
They were lonely or going
through a tough time and
this woman was welcoming
them into her home, feeding
them and talking to them.
Not all of them were interested
in hearing about God or religion
but they were grateful to her
for her kindness.
She wasn’t discouraged by their
lack of Interest in spiritual matters,
but she knew that she had
shown them the love of
Christ by the way she treated them.
Sometimes sharing the Gospel
came not from words but from
actions. Still, it was a thrill for her
when they accepted Christ.
Initially, her family and friends
were concerned that she was
inviting strangers into her home
but she assured them that God
led the people to her.
She thanks Him every day for calling
her into the Hospitality ministry.
“I love to feed and talk to people,”
she said, “and that is why God chose
me for this work. I am so blessed.”
She has been doing this for years.
and will continue to do so until
she is called to another ministry.
