Reminder....for ME!!!!

"You never dismiss people because they are not educated, because they are white, because they are black, yellow, red or purple, because they are women, because they are old or young.
Every encounter is sacred, and we need to value that encounter."
       THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS....
                                  AN INSIGNIFICANT PERSON!!!
This was brought home to me recently as I encountered a 'homeless' woman, one of many in our area.
You know the drill your heart plays in compassion as this happens again and again with homeless everywhere .
I turned away from this encounter at McDonald's but  as we drove next door for gas I could not live with
      ' me' so I got out and walked back over to this poor lady.
I put my arm around her and slipped some money into her hand, kissing her on the cheek and saying my usual, "God bless you dear one" and started to walk away....
She called me back saying, "Who are you? Can I bless you?"
Then she put her arm around me and prayed for me, my family and all that were close to my heart.
It became a 'sacred' moment in time for me.  My heart leaped with joy.
I was humbled.
This became a Reminder.....to ME!!!!

God uses ordinary people to carry out His extraordinary plan.

A little poem I wrote says it simply,
I sought to hear the voice of God
And climbed the highest steeple
But God said, "God down again
I live among the people."
