Are you hospitable?

Sonia wrote this in the comments and I thought i was a wonderful reminder to us all....

Today's reading was awesome and I was struck by the fact that Lot and Abraham both were so hospitable to the messengers of God. They both insisted that they be able to provide a shelter (even Lot's own home) and extravagant food for these strangers, simply because they had been sent by God. That convicts me to evaluate how I treat those sent by God. Do I offer them access to everything that i have to the point of insisting, or am I passive, stand-offish and unaffected? Who would those people look like today? Missionaries?? Any thoughts?

Thanks SONIA!!!
