The other day, I went into a store for water and a muffin. As I walked to the door, I passed this man who was sitting there silently in a wheelchair, missing part of his legs and one complete arm. I felt tears come to my eyes, and entered the store, but as I was looking for "my" stuff, something told me to buy extras.When I got back out to where he was seated, my heart just led me to ask him if he would like a bottle of water and a muffin too. He said yes, and our eyes locked onto each other. His were beautiful green, sort of like my own, and he said, "I love you."
God, it was THE most intense, spiritual moment I think I've ever had, and I told him I loved him as well. It was just beautiful and I felt "seen" and "known" by him, and I believe he felt the same. WE were just "one" at that moment, and I'm so happy that my Higher Power (who I call God) led me to him that day. I thought it was simply feeding someone who was obviously in need, and it was partly that. But so much more. Thank you God for using and loving us both that day!
