"Entertaining Angels Unawares"

(2.5.18)

[liopleurodean]

One to another Do you remember me? I feel so small Well are you list'in to tonight So temporary The things that I have seen I ran so far Will you take me back again Entertaining angels By the light of my TV screen 24-7 you wait for me Entertaining angels By the time I fall to my knees Host of heaven, sing over me One to another The feelings in between I won't let go Of all you taught me - alright Close as a brother The way we used to be I'll hold my breath And I'll wait for you to breath Entertaining angels By the light of my TV screen 24-7 you wait for me Entertaining angels While the night becomes history Host of heaven, sing over me Entertaining angels By the light of my TV screen 24-7 you wait for me Entertaining angels By the time I fall to my knees Host of heaven, sing over me Entertaining angels By the light of my TV screen 24-7 you wait for me Entertaining angels While the night becomes history Host of heaven, sing over me Entertaining angels By the light of my TV screen 24-7 you wait for me Entertaining angels By the time I fall to my knees Host of heaven, sing over me Entertaining angels By the light of my TV screen 24-7 you wait for me...

Entertaining Angels?

Hebrews 13:2 2 Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it. On Monday, December 6, 2021, Amy, and I went to Sam’s Club on a cold windy afternoon. As we walked in, a short stocky older gentleman got Amy’s attention and said that she must be a tough lady. Amy only had on a short sleeve t-shirt and this man showed…

Jessica’s Encounter at the Harbor Coffee Shop

I just had to share this short story that was written by my friend Matt and published in his blog Encounters With the Ancients

Entertaining Angels

“Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it.” – Hebrews 13:2

What does it mean to entertain angels? Despite the title of this post, I cannot guarantee a satisfactory answer to this question. These next few paragraphs simply seek to provide brief glance into what can come about when one is open to the whisperings of the…

While sitting in Murchie’s Tea and Coffee sidewalk cafe in Victoria, B.C., with my friend Archpriest Basil Rhodes, having a cup of coffee and a lemon scone, a homeless man stop behind me. The man was staring at our food, so Father Basil asked him if he was hungry. He answered with an enthusiastic “yes”, and when Father asked what he’d like to eat, he said “sausages and eggs”. Father Basil told him they didn’t have such a breakfast here, but passed a Canadian five dollar bill for me to give the man, telling him to find just what he wanted, elsewhere.

Another man, around thirty years of age, was standing nearby, listening to every word. As the homeless man walked away, the younger man walked up and confronted us with the question, “how could you give money to a junky? You are not doing him any good by giving him money. Aren’t you men of God?”

I responded by saying that it was not our place to judge anyone, to which he replied, in a confrontational manner, "he's just going to buy drugs with that money. You don't seem to be very intuitive". I told him I'd worked with the homeless before, and that the man was hungry and deserving of our charity. The man said "cheers" and dismissively walked away.

A woman seated at a nearby table called over with the words, "good response". She then came over to our table, knelt down beside me, and with tears in her eyes, identified herself as a social worker, and told us she'd been going through a particularly difficult time, and that the interaction she'd just witnessed had helped her immensely.

I then told this woman the story of the time I was walking with an elderly bishop of the Russian Church, and how I had spotted a filthy homeless man walking towards us. This man's hair was disheveled, filthy with years of dirt, and was wearing torn clothing. He had no soles on his shoes, so with each step we could see the bottom of his feet. Instinctively, I took the elbow of the bishop, and attempted to get him to cross in the middle of the street. The bishop asked why, and I said, "Look at the crazy man coming towards us". The bishop told me we were not crossing, but would continue.

When directly in front of the the man, the bishop stopped, reached out, taking the man's filthy right hand into his own, and placed a twenty dollar bill into the man's hand, covering the bill with the man's left hand. At that moment the man looked up into our eyes, saying nothing. But looking back were the bluest, clearest eyes I had ever seen. They were not the eyes of a homeless man, nor the eyes of a deranged man, eyes filled with wisdom and holiness.

As we walked away, I remarked about the man's eyes, to which the bishop responded by saying, "We just encountered an angel unaware, and we were being tested," recalling the words of Scripture, "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares" (Hebrews 13:2).

After the social worker left, a man seated at a nearby table remarked, "that was a remarkable story, and you made my wife cry". This other couple had witnessed the whole of these encounters.

A moment later, the young man who'd judged us so harshly after the original encounter, returned. He came up, asked forgiveness for having judged us, and said he'd "just seen the homeless man buying yogurt and fruit" with the money we'd given him. I stood up, gave the young man a hug, and we all parted ways.

With love in Christ, Abbot Tryphon

Garden first, house second

Garden first, house second

The tomato seeds are still sitting on the kitchen counter, waiting to be planted. Here it is, way past the last expected frost date, and all the genetic material for juicy deliciousness is still in the form of tiny round, dry discs in paper packets. This has been a busy spring for — it seems — everything BUT gardening. The delays in planting were begun in February, when a bad case of bronchitis…
