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

When have you been pleasantly surprised by a guest?

An elevator puts us in close proximity to a group of strangers with whom we have nothing in common but a destination. It’s a short ride, but then, so is life.

When has a stranger turned out to be significant on your journey?

An accordion—or a glass of wine—might or might not be on your list of what makes for a truly festive occasion. We all celebrate in different ways, but it’s not a party unless you have guests.

What elements do you think make for a great celebration?

A greenhouse allows for careful, controlled cultivation of plants—so long as you carefully maintain that cultivation. When you stop managing your greenhouse, your plants might wither and die. Or they might grow wild and break through the glass ceiling.

What has happened when you’ve let go control of something you had carefully managed?

At the end of the long hall awaits…who knows what? But sometimes the hallway itself is a kind of hospitality, a welcome into the journey rather than the destination.

When have you welcomed being on a journey, without too much concern for where you would end up?
