Romans 12:13 (NIV) Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
Hebrews 13:2 (NIV) Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.
Lord we blame the innkeeper for only giving you the stable when his inn was full but what about all the others who lived in Bethlehem that night when you were born. Why were all their houses that weren't full of guests fast closed against the one who contained you? God bless our little homes this Christmastime make them big enough to welcome you contained in those for whom the world has no room except a cold and lonely Christmas day. —Joseph Bayly
