Entertaining Angels Unaware

Could we be entertaining angels unaware? What a wonderful thought, to think that as all of the people in the world pass us by, one of them could just be an angel that was sent here to see if we would take time for a moment to give a smile, or even a dollar for a sandwich or a cup of coffee, or maybe just a hug.

When I read this passage in the book of Hebrews the 13th chapter and the 2nd verse,it tells me this in the amplified bible:

"Do not forget or neglect or refuse to extend hospitality to strangers (in the brotherhood), being friendly, cordial and gracious, sharing the comforts of your home and doing your part generously- for through it some have entertained angels without knowing it."

Everyday, you could be entertaining angels unaware!

When I think on this passage, I think of all the homeless people that stand on the corners of our streets and ask for some kind of sacrifice (like a dollar) and all we can think about this person is, "why don't they just go to the labor company in the early morning and go get a job?" Perhaps this is true, but think about the passage in Hebrews, it also could be a setup from Our Heavenly Father, just to see where are heart is at this particular time.

We all would like to think that we want to do, more than anything, as we pass through another day that God has blessed us with, a good deed that would just light up the face of Jesus and say

"Now see my child down there, she just blessed one of mine with what probably to her seems like such a small deed, but what she didn't know is that she just gave a small token, even though she knew she couldn't really afford to do this, since she only had two dollars left,and now she gave one of those away, to a perfect stranger,just because there was something deep down in her spirit telling her to do this, what she really doesn't know,is that she just gave to one of my assigned angels half of what she had."

Try to embrace everyday as if it was going to be your last. You never know when you might be entertaining angels unaware. Planting seeds for the kingdom and not even realizing what we have done!

What a blessing.
