Refreshed

Just yesterday I met a homless guy and managed to strike up a conversation with him. The conversation lasted about 2 hours. Steve just poured out his life storyto me. Living under the threat of cancer since he was 13. He is 47 now. Spent 8 years in jail.

 He has now found a new resting place close to a Catholic Church.... ' the church bell gives me inspiration' he quipped.

I explained to him that the reality of it all is that God resides in him. His eyes brightened as he became aware of this truth.

I prayed with and gave him a hug ... he didn't want to let me go for a while.

He told me he felt refreshed as we parted company. I shall remember Steve.
