Entertaining Angels

Finally, after eight days in the hospital, my mom is home! I will be there in the unbelievably frigid upstate NY for the next couple of weeks to help with her rehab, till she regains her strength. Everyone is relieved to be out of the hospital. Hospitals would be fine if they weren't full of sick people.

But God had one more blessing for me.

In the morning, the Honda dealer called me to tell me that my car with the frozen windshield washer lines was ready for pickup. They had warned me that it would be at least $70, and even more if the motor was the culprit. My dad drove me there before we went to get Mom from the hospital.

First, the service woman handed me a ticket for a free car wash, courtesy of Honda. Oh-oh. I was being buttered up before the bad news of what this little adventure was gonna cost me. She pulled out the bill.
"$2.48"
I blinked.
"Excuse me?"
"I'm not going to charge you for thawing out your car in our garage over night."
"But what about replacing the washer fluid so it won't freeze?"
"We did that."
"For $2.48?"
"Honey, you have enough on your plate right now. That's what the world is all about, helping each other."
I could not believe it.
"May I hug you?" I asked.
"Of course."

She asked how Mom was doing, and then mentioned that having me and my Dad able to split duties was a "blessing." Ah. Blessing is a word people who love God tend to use. I gazed into her kind eyes, and saw Jesus. I am not sure what my Dad saw, but he was shaking his head incredulously.

"God bless you," I said as I waved goodbye. A whole dealership filled with people who seem to love God. Or else they are angels....literally. I am not even kidding.

PS- Thanks to all of you praying for my mom. She is doing really well.
PSS- 15 below zero windchill is not really as awful as you would think when you dress properly.

Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
