Where does one begin to describe the sincererest of kindness or the generosity & hospitality from one of the humblest of spirits I ever had the priviledge of meeting in my lifetime. I met Miguel & his lovely wife, Yolanda, through my wife Perla, at one of their family gatherings over a decade ago. Understandably, being the new face amongst old friends chatting away & catching up on lifes' progressions, its easy to feel a bit isolated or a little uncomfortable at first. Well, Miguel was that guy that would go out of his way to break away from the group to talk to you if he perceived you as being left out. It was always heartfelt too and you would immediately begin to abandon any reservations of being a stranger amongst old friends. This was a lasting impression that taught me to be as kind & hospitable to the stranger visiting my home as Miguel was to me when I was a stranger in his home. When I think of Miguel, I cannot help but think of
Hebrews 13:2 which states "Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels." By no means, am I referring to myself as any angel, however I know in my heart, that as kind as Miguel was to everyone, I am assured to believe at some point in his life he was indeed hospitable & even entertained heavenly angels. I am also certain Miguel will be welcomed to his new home with our Dear Lord, not as a stranger, but as one of God's very own. May your kind & gentle spirit rest in peace with our Father.
Your Friends Eric & Perla
