Help the Helpless Goofy Stuff / Back Home
Thanks to Sammie for sending this one!
As I walked down the
busy sidewalk, knowing I was late for Sunday School, my eye fell upon one of
those unfortunate, homeless vagabonds that are found in every city these days.
Some people turned to stare. Others quickly looked away as if the sight would
somehow contaminate them.
Recalling
my old preacher,
Pastor Bill, who always admonished us 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.
Wearing what can only be described as rags, and
carrying every worldly possession in two plastic bags, my heart was touched by
this person's condition. Yes, where some people saw only rags, I saw a true,
hidden beauty.
A small voice inside my head called out, 'Reach out, reach out, and touch
this person!'

So I did.......
I won't be at Sunday School this week.
