Hospitality Made Simple

Hospitality doesn’t have to mean a perfectly clean home. It doesn’t mean always having freshly baked cookies to share with unexpected guests. Hospitality is an attitude in which we welcome guests (expected or otherwise) into our homes.
Think back to a time when you maybe stopped by a friends home to say “Hi” and stayed awhile to chat. Do you remember if they had stuff on the table? Were the pillows rumpled on the sofa? Dog hair in the corner? Exactly. People don’t notice what we think they notice!
Hospitality can be as simple as:
- A smile when you open the door
- Offering cup of coffee or glass ice water
- Just being yourself (they came to see YOU after all!)
Next time you have the pleasure of an unexpected visitor welcome them in with out feeling bad that the house is a mess, you don’t have on make up, you aren’t June Cleaver or your kids are covered in jelly. And don’t apologize that the house isn’t perfect. If you don’t point it out they probably won’t even notice!

Well said! Great advice for unexpected visits.
Sooo true. Oh and I am so much better at extending hospitality to everyone….except “those relatives” in my family. I really need to check my attitude at the door some days!!!
