The Gift of Hospitality

(Topic of Choice)
Another topic that particularly interested me was when Dr. Redick talked about the hostels that he would stay in as he was thru hiking the Appalachian Trail. I didn't realize that there were people who literally have dedicated their lives to providing hospitality to those that need a rest while hiking the trails. Ever since I was little, I have loved hospitality. This probably has to do with how I was raised-my mom always put a big emphasis on making other comfortable when they came into our home. She would always cater to each individual's needs and would go above and beyond to make sure that they felt "at home." I believe that being able to host someone well (or in a hostel's case, MANY people well) is truly a gift. Hospitality is such a tangible way that we can bless others and show them a love similar to the Father's. Especially hostel owners- they usually have never met any of their residents and will never see them again. However, they still go out of their way to make sure they are well rested and don't leave on an empty stomach.
