The society today has changed compare to how it was being done before.My parent have been these people that accommodate people right from the very beginning.Although I am not the type that likes accommodating strangers.But one thing led to the other.
I was privileged to stay in a mission house owned by The church headed by one of my parents friend for a while.i traveled for a program and for me to complete the program I had to stay in a mission house in other for me to minimize cost.
Mission house is a house owned by a church where different people come and go.Either family or no family.A mission house is like a home for everyone.
I got there and see strangers.I see some people to be strangers while they also see me to be a stranger.I started my stay there and wasn't comfortable because people are always in my space.But I stay focused and follow the routine in other to vibe with everyone and achieve my goal.
It was after I left there I knew I could accommodate strangers and live with them pending the scheduled time.This scenario will take me back to the choosen weekend topic tagged THE WEEKEND STRANGER
You are asked to accommodate a homeless stranger for a weekend to house, feed and entertain. Would you do it, and if so, what does your weekend look like and why?
Since I could live with strange people for a while accommodating a homeless stranger won't be a big problem.weekend is just two days (Saturday & Sunday)even if I am not hundred percent okay with it.Two days is something I can spare without regrets.unlike accommodating a total stranger for two weeks and above.
My weekends generally are scheduled.Every Saturday morning I go to the gym to start the day. If I am accommodating a stranger I won't want to leave him alone at home.i would definitely take he/she along to the gym to work out.Atleast just engage the stranger in one or two reps.
After the morning workout we would go back home and make food for ourselves.if I am supposed to go on appointment or friends gathering that Saturday,I will sly it and just stay at home with the stranger in other to keep company and help with one or two necessary.
Then on sunday.i will definitely take The stranger along with Me to church service and if the stranger is unto another religion.i will let he/she go and we meet up at home later on.
So, definitely I can accommodate a stranger for the weekend in my house.That, I don't think is a problem to me .Although it might be a problem to others.
Thank you for reading through my blog
I'm not that great living with others as well although I have had my fare share of living in a dorm and it was a daily struggle to get along with others.
Your idea of accommodating a stranger sounds practical and that's how I would do it too probably :)
It indeed a struggle trying to get along, living with others.
Give it a try... for you having the thought.i think it's something you can do..
If given the chance, I would :)
