It may seem unbelievable, but Filipinos are not shame to show it to people they do not personally know. Some people may be shame, but at least, they never cease to smile at people they meet as a form of recognizing their presence. Filipinos are like clowns that make every people laugh amidst the moment of emotional stress.
They make corny jokes just to please every visitor. It is a form of hospitality knowing that the vacationers would think that they are highly valued by their tour guides. They would even impersonate someone or the foreigners themselves just to entertain them throughout their stay in the country. Just to keep foreigners get rid of boredom, Filipinos tend to tell stories of their lives everywhere they go.
When people from other countries can only settle with their own families once someone dies or when there is a birthday. In the Philippines, Filipinos have many reasons to have reunions.
As what is told, reunion is not only limited to families. Filipinos love to see their loved ones, not just families, not just once but many times in a year, and they keep being hospitable during reunions. It may be a form of arrogance by impressing people of how good they are, but it is the best thing that can happen on earth.
Filipinos do not want to be alone. Hospitality possessed by the Filipinos is unbeatable. It is part of the Philippine culture that gives color to the rest of it. Hospitality may be seen in all people. Non-Filipinos can be hospitable, too, but Filipinos have different version of it.
Many foreigners even call it Filipino hospitality or simply being Filipino. The term Filipino is now synonymous to hospitality or being hospitable. One could say that one is being Filipino when he or she is being hospitable. Some would spend a lot on food and a new set of china for the guests, for instance. It is reasonable if you are part of business like a hotel or a resort, but if you are a working Filipino who pushed blood and sweat to earn money money is really hard to come by here , some Filipinos think they should think twice before spending for guests.
It is hard to get rid of this trait though, as it has been part of the Filipino culture since the ancient times. Before the Philippines was even a colony of Spain, the Datus rulers of the land already warmly welcomed foreign people landing here to barter and trade. When the Spaniards first came, they were also treated with great hospitality before things got out of hand and both parties became hostile. They give you more than one greeting.
They take out their best china. Women are kind of obsessed with plates for some reason. My mom keeps all her best ones in a china cabinet. She only takes them out when a guest we are not very close with arrives. They offer to show you around. Actually, the more I think about it now, when I married my wife, I married into the large Filipino family of more than million people. Filipino hospitality goes beyond the friendly treatment of guests or a warm welcome into their home.
It is Filipinos welcoming you to their family; in other words, Filipino hospitality means becoming a part of the Filipino family. And what a large family that is! To Filipinos, being hospitable is giving more than your best to make any guest feel at home as much as possible.
A guest leaving hungry is a sign of poor hospitality, and, conversely, guests are expected to eat when offered food by the family or indirectly risk sending a mixed message to those who put the extended effort into hosting them. Although we live in the U. Filipino hospitality has no borders or boundaries. Guests are made to feel like kings and queens, with hosts always making sure that the guests are comfortable and well fed.
He was asking for a discerning heart. The word discerning literally means hearing or listening. The noun discernment describes a wise way of judging between things, or a particularly perceptive way of seeing things. The main difference between Wisdom and Discernment is that the Wisdom is a deep understanding of or knowledge of a subject and Discernment is a activity of determining the value and quality of a certain subject.
Discernment is wisdom based not just knowledge based. Discernment is a learned skill that focuses on the process of reflection on the foundation of being a values based and principle-driven leader. Draw me deep into your very being, into the core of your love for me, others, and the world. Apostle Paul mentions the gift of discerning of spirits in 1 Cor.
John Chrysostom in the interpretation of this passage says that these words mean the ability to tell who is spiritual and who is not, who is prophet and who is not since at the time of Apostle Paul, there were false prophets deluding people.
Discernment Prayer You are the only one who knows how this decision will affect me. I come to you today asking you to help me make sound decisions.
