Havamal (2)

2:
Hail, ye Givers! a guest is come;
say! where shall he sit within?
Much pressed is he who fain on the hearth
would seek for warmth and weal.

3:
He hath need of fire, who now is come,
numbed with cold to the knee;
food and clothing the wanderer craves
who has fared o'er the rimy fell.

4:
He craves for water, who comes for refreshment,
drying and friendly bidding,
marks of good will, fair fame if 'tis won,
and welcome once and again.

When a guest comes to visit, invite him and am not ashamed of the way your home looks. Treat them warmly and bid whatever you have. If it's cold, offer something warm for both the inside and the outside. If he is warm, offer something cool and a towel to dry with. Offer a nice drink, good food and a nice company, and hopefully he will invite you.
