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
