Paul's scars told stories of standing for a faith so strong even death was an option (Acts 21:13). Job's story was one of righteous living yet filled with questions. And the ten men told of great joy when healed (Luke 17).

Like the little old lady who returned
your wallet yesterday.

Like the taxi driver who told you that
your eyes light up the world when you smile.

Like the small child who showed you the
wonder of simple things.

Like the poor man who offered
to share his lunch with you.

Like the rich man who showed you that
it really is all possible, if you only knew.

Like the stranger who just happened to come
along and offered help when you had lost your way.

Like the friend who touched your heart when
you didn’t think you had one to touch.

Angels come in all…
