Pet videos are some of the cutest to watch. In this clip, a security camera films a cat welcoming home its human.

At the start of this video, a voice shares, “Watch my cat's reaction, when I come home from work.” This clip shows how the owner caught his cat on the security camera when he arrived home. The cat stands up on her chair and jumps off onto the floor. She slowly walks towards the front door. Then, she hops up on the side table as the doorbell rings and responds with a meow.

As the door opens a man walks in celebrating, “Hey, Hannah, hi!” The cat begins to get closer, move, and roll over on his feet, so happy to see her owner. He then holds her as she stretches backwards in a backbend. The man then kisses his elated pet.

The reaction of this cat is what we all hope to receive when others welcome us. As believers, we are called to show hospitality. This means that we welcome others into not only our homes but into our lives. We can celebrate new faces and encourage the familiar ones. There is joy in bringing others into your life and sharing the great things and the hard things together. Community is a gift that God created from the very beginning. When we have the opportunity to welcome a loved one home or host a new friend, may we have the kind of zeal that this cat has for her owner. Abundant love comes from our Lord of abundance.

“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling." 1 Peter 4:8-9
