Reaching Out 2

Some days we reach out for someone when our world is in despair. We are confused with what life has given us and feel our life spiralling down. Then from no where two hands reach out and with words of comfort lift us back to solid ground. The stranger who has helped us has a face we cannot see; they are not our god, but a stranger from far across the sea. The Good Samaritan whose arms reach out to everyone within their hour of need. Are they one of God’s angels or are they mortal like you and me? It is a question we cannot answer, however they are the answer to our prayers. Someone who reaches out and goes to the aid of whom others sometimes fear. 7 July 2010
