The Kindness of Hospitality

"Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it."
~ Hebrews 13:2

I recently spent part of a weekend at a parish on the other side of town.  A church-related program in which I participate began on a Friday evening and continued for all of Saturday.  A group of parishioners at the host church was in charge of serving our meals.  In addition to setting out the food -- which was in abundance, they were very attentive to anything we might need.  They came by the tables to pick up our plates, offer another helping of dessert and serve coffee.  They stayed late on Friday night and were there to greet us on Saturday morning.  I don't know that these generous and gracious parishioners entertained any angels, but I think we caught glimpses of their angel wings.
