Every now and then, the light in a stranger's eyes pulls at the outer threads of my mind with a familiar tug...
and I wonder...
Every now and then, an unexpected, kind word from a complete stranger lifts a layer of sadness from my heart...
and I wonder...
Every now and then, a warm smile from a passerby, penetrates my soul...
and I wonder...
Every now and then, a kind gesture by a stranger restores my faith in the goodness of the human spirit...
and I wonder...
Every now and then, a chance encounter with a store clerk, a waiter or waitress, a construction worker, a crossing guard, a bus driver, a parking lot attendant, a mail carrier, a volunteer, a repair person, a ticket taker, a hotdog vendor, a stranger in any number of forms, shapes and sizes, has all the markings of the handprint of God...
and I wonder...
Do not forget to entertain strangers,
for by so doing some people have
entertained angels without knowing it.
Hebrews 13:2 NIV
