And I Wonder...

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 mail carrier, a volunteer, a repair person, a ticket taker, 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
