Look at the faces on the street

“Do not look at the faces in the illustrated papers. Look at the faces in the street.” G.K. Chesterton

Coming out of a dinner in NYC the other day, I noticed a homeless man on the street…so I stopped and asked him if he wanted a blessing. He bowed his head and said, “Yes, I would like a blessing.” So after the blessing, he had a big smile on his face and said, “I really needed that blessing…thank you, Reverend!” You can often discover the face of Christ where you least expect it!
