As I � walked down the busy footpath, knowing I was late for an important �meeting, my eye fell upon one of those unfortunate, homeless vagabonds that 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 some 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!"
Won't be in Sunday School Class this week!!
