Hebrews 13:2 is such a gentle nudge to keep our doors and hearts open. The verse does not ask for anything dramatic, just ordinary hospitality toward people we might otherwise pass by. Jesus ties that same spirit to Himself in Matthew 25:35, "I was a stranger and you welcomed me." Faith often shows up in small, practical welcomes like that. (removed link)

Angels are only part.
Many blessings and visitations come from God through ordinary people, people who live their whole lives perhaps not even aware. But then the moment comes that God has appointed and they do the very thing that was or is needed.
In my life, one such person--the angel Gene McGregor--came right on queue! I had stepped out and opened a business having little or no experience. The doors opened and I did my best, but quickly ran into challenges that were beyond my own understanding...and in walked Gene, a former Olympic contender in the field associated with my business. A half an hour later I had a volunteer pro on staff who taught me all the necessary jargon and skills over the next few weeks. Which could seem only coincidental...except what followed was my fall and salvation. My business was victimized by crime three times, put me out of business, caused my divorce, and a thousand blows leading me to cry out to a God I never before knew--and He answered! I mean He really answered--I was caught up in the Spirit...and, well, I've said it here all before. God bless Gene McGregor!
