There is a scripture that talks about being careful when meeting strangers, you may be entertaining angels unaware.

One Sunday morning, I was enroute to New Jersey, I was dreading the journey because to be honest I really didn't know where I was going, or the outcome of the meeting. The appointment was in Wayne, I hadn't been there before, I had pretty good instructions. I simply had to go to Port Authority and take a bus to Wayne and walk a few blocks. Why was I uneasy? I've travelled all over the world. I've been a stranger in many cities, and made friends.This was different, did I really want to commute if I got the Job? How long would the journey be after a performance? I was weary because I spent time with friends, my heart was heavy because the challenges of life were weighing heavily upon my shoulders.

I had to stop for a moment, how many times to we block our blessings with doubt, fear, and unbelief, creating  many barriors  and foreseeing as well as creating problems that haven't manifested into reality. To be honest I also had to miss a church service, and I was going to be a paid soloist, so there was money involved. I shook it off and went on to Port Authority. I was early, so there I was at gate 233 with about a thirty minute wait for my bus. A man wandered in, and smiled politety, we ended up talking about his luggage which he purchased at Macy's. He introduced himself, his name was Robert. We talked about the big sale and how much money he saved. He went on to tell me that he relocated to California, and was in town to be with his family. He was an actor, and did quiet a few commercials. So of course as a performer I talked about myself. I mentioned that I'm a singer, and going out to audition for a musical. After a while he started to talk about the many blessings in his life, and how God had blessed him with good health. He started quoting scriptures, and offered to pray with me. We held hands and he began to pray. I was so moved and felt a wonderful spiritual presence. People were starting to file in and some were watching us as he continued to bless me. We embraced, the bus arrived and we started to board, he asked the driver about his stop, and he was told that he had to take the next bus. I thanked him, and went on my way.

He was an angel to me, heaven sent to ease my doubts, and uplift me, I gave thanks silently as I waved to him. It wasn't about our riding together, it was the moment we shared in prayer and meditation. I'll never forget Robert, the day I dreaded turned out to be  glorious. The people I met were very kind and positive; they offered me the job.

I could have ignored Robert, and quietly waited for the bus to arrive, and would've missed an experience that still blesses me to this day. I needed that word from God, I didn't miss worshipping in church, and in being kind to this sweet person I was quite aware that I was in the company of an angel, to remind me that God is truly in the blessing business.
