"Angels & Entertainment"
“Let brotherly
friendship continue; but don’t forget
to be friendly to outsiders; for in so
doing, some people,
without knowing it, have entertained angels."
Heb 13:1-2 CJB
(Complete Jewish Bible)

Dear family of friends,
To my knowledge I have never entertained angels. Or even
seen one.
The most recent time may have been, I might venture to say, when
our ferocious, 14 pound Dachshund Zoe Girl martin, though not bigger than a fat
rabbit, growled at something she must have seen in our home. With my “naked
eyes” I couldn’t. But then she pretends to be the watchdog no matter what size
the foe, or friend, she encounters, at first.
As “they” say, when some
encounter angels they tend to freeze up in fear. I probably would too. (Except
I have Zoe nearby.)
I have always liked angels. Especially my guardian angel, whom I
first believed in when I was little. Then when I “got bigger”, I thought it all
was a myth. Just like Santa Claus and the tooth fairy became when I reached the
pre-tween era. Now I have made full circle.
If the Lord Adonai says there are angels, there are angels. You
know, “He said it. I believe it. That settles it.”
Why I am writing about angels in this 52nd edition of my Ahava
Love Letters? Because I woke up again this morning, at 3:34 am to be exact (I
missed the 3:33 marked by a minute!) and the Lord spoke the word “entertainment.”
And so for the next five hours I thought He wanted me to share about all the
time we humans spend on personal entertainment. As in watching TV episodes,
movie blockbusters, attending dance halls, chasing the beach ball in the sand, or
a day at the NASCAR track to see #24 win (hopefully.)
But as I sat down to write, His Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) spoke
further in guidance, for us to consider the reality of “entertaining angels.”
Can He be saying that in these last days, we will become more
aware of the angelic hosts all around us? Some of them are daily waging war in
the heavenlies, as does Michael the Archangel in his protection over Israel.
Or
our guardian angels keeping watch over our steps, as the enemy and Adversary of
our soul tries to daily bring discouragement, steal our joy, and take us down
the wrong path? I think maybe so.
If Zoe sees another angel in our home (I hope she does!), I am
going to ask the Lord that He open my eyes too, to see this mighty one of the
Lord God of Israel. Or if one comes to my front door, whom I would be able to see
in the natural, I want to be quick to acknowledge the purpose of his ministering
mission. I want to know how to properly entertain him and receive the message
he may be bringing.
Do they drink coffee? I’ll let you know.
Ahava to my family of friends,

She could be an angel. Looks fierce!
