Wow.
Or, again, “What you do to the least of these you do also to me.” - Jesus
“And a child shall lead them....’’
Ain’t no dirty old geezer with a zipper at half-mast gonna touch my kid. Sorry.
Judge not, lest ye be judged....
Thank you, MsLady.
never know when you will be touched by an angel
Beautiful - and you made me cry! <3
Oh my. Speechless.
Having problem with my monitor. It seems to have gotten blurry.
What a beautiful story. How true we must never judge a person by what he or she looks like from the outside.
>>’To enter the Kingdom of God , we must become as little children.’<<
And the less Biblical, but equally true: “There, but for the grace of God, go I.”
Face Prayer
by James Pinto, Jr, MEV
Heavenly Father, I embrace your grace this day,
So that I might not:
Think of another,
Speak to another or
Touch another,
without first looking for
Your Face in the other.
I ask all this through
Jesus Christ:
God Incarnate,
God with Skin,
God made Poor,
God with a Face. Amen!
A lot of people saying its fiction on this thread and maybe it is but it happened to me and I was the little child. Years ago in the Houston bus station where my father was manager and there was an old drunk. I was embarrassed at the time but have since realized that he was in fact an angel and I love my father more when I remember how he treated that old man with respect enough to introduce me to him.
I am reminded of one when my daughter was about 4. We were eating at a restaurant that had a small dance floor. Our table was right beside it. A dwarf couple was wrapped in each other arms dancing to the music. We were all thinking, how ridiculous do they look and feeling embarrassed for them I suppose. Our daughter was delighted and yelled “hey you little guys” and jumped from her chair to the dance floor to join them. They were just as delighted with her and for a few minutes they all swayed to the music.
I always call Emmanuel God with a human face.
Thank-you for that reflection.
