Remember the unfortunate

[MTpockets]

As I walked down the busy street, 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.

I saw a person who was 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!"





So I did..........





I get out of the hospital in about 3 months.

It would be nice to get a card or maybe a visitor.

I would love to reach out to someone like that

[DiscGo]

That's pretty good.

[RugerShooter]

[MTpockets]

So, I can count on receiving a few cards then.

[Sombeech]

poor thing.

[MTpockets]

Did you mean me or the homeless person?

[rockgremlin]

Good for you - you did the right thing!

I have never seen a joke get so many replies.

I would have lent a hand as well...

[Scott Card]

It took me a while to see what everyone was talking about. I thought it was slot machine.. slot and one arm.

I would have lent more than 2 hands
