Dear Reverend

[Johnkaz]

Dear Reverend,

As I walked down the busy footpath, knowing I was late for an important meeting, when my eye fell upon one of those unfortunate people who 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 person's condition.

Some people turned to stare. Others quickly looked away as if the sight would somehow contaminate them.

Recalling a 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 and touch this person'!

So I did.

Just to let you know I won't be attending church for a while.

It just shows how perfect gods creations can be!

I would love to get "contaminated" by her!

Please give, so more can live.
