I saw an angel today. She taught me humility.
I was at CVS dropping off a package when I noticed a person curled up sleeping on the sidewalk.
I informed the clerk and was told the police had already been notified.
When I came out, I saw a woman putting a jacket on the person, who was now sitting on the sidewalk.
She did it with so much care and love while speaking softly to her. It looked like a mother dressing her child.
I saw her pointing to something on the ground and heard the word socks. I was frozen in the moment and simply amazed witnessing so much care and kindness.
I did not want to interrupt. This was between these two women and God.
When the lady went back to her car, I took the opportunity to thank her for her kindness. Her only response was, “Jesus loves her too.”
After the woman drove off, the person from the sidewalk was up and ready to leave the premises.
I offered to buy her something to eat, but she said she had food. Then she blessed me. The person who thought sleeping on a sidewalk is a better choice than whatever she ran from blessed me.
This humbling experience taught me that the best sermons are lived, not preached.
Keep on shining.
The world needs your light.
In many different faith traditions as well as in the secular world, many people are encouraged to be light to others or to bring light to others – but what does this mean?
To be the light means, in times of darkness you offer hope, encouragement, kindness and compassion. In times where others are struggling, you offer a way to help them to regain their glow and to shine. To see the good and the beautiful – it is in this that truth is re- established. To “Be the light” may be to offer wisdom and guidance, or just to sit with someone, and be the presence they need. It may be offering strength to those that are in a moment’s weakness or offering a smile and joy to someone in random parts of your day.
