IRJ-20
In the Bible, Lot is sitting outside of Sodom and sees two men walking towards the gates. Immediately, Lot welcomes them and gives them a place to stay and washes their feet. Once I read this, I was shocked. Lot did not know these people, they could have been murders.
I thought to myself, “when’s the last time I recall this kind of hospitality?” I could not think of any example of this kind. I thought of friends opening their home for other friends, but not for a complete stranger. This also made me think of the movie The Blind Side. But, then i realized that he went to the same school as the other children. After thinking about this for a long time I finally found a time when I helped someone like this.
Last year for my old school we went down to a homeless shelter every week to serve food to the homeless. This was a great experience for me because it made me feel so good because i was helping those in need.We did not know these people and did not know their life story, but we were their for them in a time of struggle and this is what made me feel so good about my self. No wonder Lot helped these people, it was not for the strangers sake, it was for his own. He must have feel so good that he made these two mens lives just a little better just for letting them stay at his house for a night. And in favor, the two men saved his life. What comes around, goes around.
