Hospitality to Strangers

"Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it." Hebrews 13:2

The word entertain here can mean "to be received hospitably" (Strong's Concordance).

This morning we went over the second day of the 40 Day Least of These Journey . It's title is POWER, and it talks about how those with authority, power, and wealth should defend the poor and bring justice to the oppressed. Following the study we had a great breakfast cooked by Daddy Dougan, and then left St. Augustine for Jacksonville. The ride was around 45 miles today, so we were able to take it easy and have some fun. Lewie, Mark, and I practiced drafting and tried to keep up with some local cyclists (no luck). Near the end of the ride we ran into a Georgia fruit stand, where we got some complimentary samples of peach and mango from the vendors, Jonny and Cassy. Further down the road we ran into Jim who is an avid cyclist from the Jacksonville area, and he gave us some cycling tips while he rode with us to our destination (if you read this: thank you for your help).

Right away upon arriving at the Bumbuts, our host family, we were served a wonderful Romanian styled lunch. They really made us feal at home. Following some relaxation time we went to the beach and played volleyball and soccer. For dinner we had another great meal (thank you Marianna, George, Andrew, and Adrian). Now it's time for bed.

Overall, we got hospitabilized like crazy today.
