An angel story...

This is a story about a guy that came to the rescue of two young college girls with a flat tire.  I was on my way to Penn State for the weekend when I was a sophomore.  I attended Penn State Berks Campus for my first two years and I had gotten a ticket for the football game that weekend.  I caught a ride with a friend of mine from High School who was also going up for the weekend also.  On Rt. 322 near Harrisburg, we got a flat tire.

We pulled off to the side and I asked her if she had a spare.  She said, "I don't know."  I said, "ok, well, let's see."  I found a spare in the trunk and asked if she had a jack.  She said, "I don't know."  We looked and found a jack.  In getting the jack out, I sliced my finger.  She obviously did not know how to change a tire and I was gushing with blood.  Just about that time, this guy stopped and asked if we needed help.  We accepted, given the circumstances.

That stranger helped us change our tire and get back on our way.  He disappeared and I never got his name.  I have often wondered - was he an angel, sent to help us out?

Was I entertaining an angel, and I didn't even know?

Hebrews 13:1-2

¹ Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. ² Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.
