Hai Kathy! (((HUGS))) Well hanging out for the evening in Newark (ugh) - not going anywhere but staying in the hotel with the rest of the crew - nice bar/grill though.

Evening, Kathy. A shame we are losing so many of our heroes.

Mysterious Helpers

Bible in a Year:

• Genesis 16–17
• Matthew 5:27–48

Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.

Hebrews 13:2

Louise suffers from muscular dystrophy. While trying to exit a train station one day, she found herself facing a large flight of stairs without an elevator or escalator. On the verge of tears, Louise saw a man suddenly appear, pick up her bag, and gently help her up the stairs. When she turned to thank him, he was gone.

Michael was late for a meeting. Already stressed from a relationship breakdown, he started battling London’s traffic only to get a flat tire. As he stood helplessly in the rain, a man stepped out of the crowd, opened the boot (trunk), jacked up the car, and changed the wheel. When Michael turned to thank him, he was gone.

Who were these mysterious helpers? Kind strangers, or something more?

The popular image we have of angels as radiant or winged creatures is only half true. While some appear this way (Isaiah 6:2; Matthew 28:3), others come with dusty feet, ready for a meal (Genesis 18:1­–5) and are easily mistaken for everyday people (Judges 13:16). The writer of Hebrews says that by showing hospitality to strangers, we can entertain angels without realizing it (13:2).

We don’t know if Louise and Michael’s helpers were angels. But according to Scripture, they could have been. Angels are at work right now, helping God’s people (Hebrews 1:14). And they can appear as ordinary as a person on the street.

Reflect & Pray

What do you know about angels? Can you think of an instance when you may have encountered one without realizing it at the time?

Thank You, God, for the angels You send, meeting us in our time of need.

I really had no desire to fly. The recruiter said “Sure Son, we can make you a heavy equipment mechanic”. That never happened.

The snow is melting. I may be able to get through my driveway tomorrow for the first time since Thanksgiving. Must be global warming /s.

Off to get ready for our morning walk.
But please stay right where you are.
Chat up the military or a family member.
No need to fret...you know I'll be back!

Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS
