Blessed By Trump's Actions

Notice how president Trump welcomed Netanyahu when he and his wife visited the white house recently?

Trump and his wife made sure they were outside waiting for the Netanyahu's when their limo arrived. I was blessed by the hospitality shown to the leader of Israel!!!!

In contrast "O", whose name I can't even say, ushered Prime Minister Netanyahu to the back door in the cloak of night, left him waiting for hours before meeting with him and didn't serve him supper. UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Sadly, far too many people in our country are following the example of this rubish former president.

When I was a child, the entire family would take a nap after dinner on Sunday. First we attended church, then we ate the mid day meal and then we took a nap.

If we were in our stocking feet after our nap and someone dropped in for a visit, we were told to put our shoes on, it was considered rude to greet someone in stocking feet. If a man had a tee shirt on while watching tv, he would run to get his shirt, to not be seen in under garments.

Sometimes I see how far we have come in our lack of hospitality and disregard for the comfort level of others, it leaves me feeling shocked.

Hebrews 13:2
"Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."

1 Peter 4:9
"Show hospitality to one another without grumbling."

Matthew 25:34-46
"Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? ..."

Romans 12:13
"Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality."

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."

Titus 1:8
"But hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined."

Not only should we be hospitable toward others who come to our home, we should also be good guests when we go to the home of others.

I recall a time when I had prepared a pretty table, with cloth napkins and napkin rings, a lovely table cloth and other decorations only to be met with comments from the guest such as; "we're not fancy people, why did you do this?"

When I have been at someone's house for dinner, their table is set beautifully, I didn't complain about it, I took joy that they did this for us. I complimented and praised the lovely table to be a blessing to the one who did all that work.

Perhaps what we are experiencing is a new generation that hates hospitality, they don't want to have to do anything that requires effort, and, they don't want anyone else to do it either because it convicts them.

I enjoy making a nice table for guests, I will not be intimidated by rude people to change how I operate, LOL, I just won't be serving those people any more.

The marriage supper of the Lamb will be the most formal and wonderful gathering anyone has ever attended....AND....our Lord will be there!!!! There will be no rude people there!!!! Hallelujah!
