Sometimes You Want to Say a Prayer

Tweet

I get tons of stuff in my facebook feed. Some make you shake your head. Or at least they do me. Some I skim right past, they are disgusting. Sometimes they are news, or items of interest that really are not related to me in any way. Many of these items take place hundreds of miles away. Yet sometimes I want to just say a prayer, be grateful and experience the good I see. I just read a news article out of Ohio. A man was visiting his sister and decided to take a different route home than usual, because he heard there was a missing two year old. A child in only pajamas out in the snow. His gut feeling paid off. He found her. She had been in the cold for five hours, and had wandered ten blocks. When he got out of his car she just lifted her arms to be picked up. And I am struck with a feeling of awe and gratitude. He had an impulse to go home by a different way. He was a good person. The child is safe, warm, and back at home after being checked out at a hospital I know nothing about this family, or this man, but I am overwhelmed with the thought of goodness just reading this post.
