When it comes to hosting others, there are always two sides to it. Here are the two sides:

The positive side:

1.Host goes an extra mile in making their guest/s feel so much at home.
2.Host doesn’t demand rent all the time his/her guest/s is there
3.Host gives a rider to wherever the guest/s needs to go without any pain whatsoever
4.Host provide the guest/s with enough information on things to watch out
5.Host treat guest/s with dignity and respect

The negative side:

1.Host treats the guest/s as children
2.Host goes to an extend of yelling at the guest/s
3.Food becomes an issue. Host begins to talk of how expensive food is.
4.Host makes it so uncomfortable for the guest/s
5.Host starts to threaten the guest/s
6.Host begins finding fault in every small thing
7.Host kicks out the guest/s prematurely. And because of this,the relationship breaks forever

It becomes necessary for the host to remember the following:

1.Avoid mistreating your guest/s
2.Remember that guest/s will be with you for a short period of time
3.Be careful how you pass over the information as people tend to remember more negative things than positive things
4.God alone will reward you.

If I remember, next time I will write something about guest/s. But for now, please take stock on how you have always handled your guest/s. If at any one time you mistreated someone, please ask for forgiveness!

Will you?

Just a thought
