As I walked down the busy footpath,
knowing I was late for an important meeting, my eye fell
upon one of those unfortunate, homeless vagabonds that are
found in every city these days.
Wearing what can only be describes as rags, carrying every
worldly possesion in two plastic bags, my heart was touched
by this persons condition. Some people turned to stare. Others
quickly looked away as if the sight would somehow contaminate them.
Recalling some long ago Sunday School admonition to "care for the sick,
feed the hungry and clothe the naked," I was moved by some powerful inner
urge to reach out to this unfortunate person. Yes, where some people saw only
rags, I saw a hidden beauty.
A small voice inside my head called out, "Reach out, reach out!"
So I did.......... * * * * * * * * SCROLL DOWN TO SEE !!!
