In The Spirit Of Charity...
As I walked down the busy sidewalk, knowing I was late for an important
interview, 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
possession 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..........
I get out of the hospital in about 3 months.
