Dave Matthews Front Row Seats!

Dave Matthews

Do not neglect to show hospitality. 
Many of us entertain angels unawares.   Hebrrews                                               

The woman was trying to get to the Dave Matthews Band concert. She was running late, very late.  But, there by the side of the road was this guy in a beaten up car struggling with a flat tire.  So she stopped.  What many would not do, she put aside her pressing priority -- and she stopped.  Now, the story could end there and she would get points for heaven.  There is no payback for compassion but compassion itself.  Not so! The stranger on the side of the road was himself--you got it!--Dave Matthews!  Guess who got front row seats that night? 

Let's remember the story of the Good Samaritan.  Where was the payback?  Does the story end--and thus the man beaten by the robbers was the King's son and the Good Samaritan walked away rich?  Or, that the man was indeed the outcast as a Samaritan, and both men discovered who their neighbor was--and walked away healed, made whole by compassion?  You write your own story.
