I Hugged a
Stranger Today
I hugged a
stranger today.
Rene was her
beautiful name.
After hearing
her sad story
My life will
never be the same.
She was sitting
in a wheelchair
Waiting at the
center for a test.
She was not able
to walk with three children
And was holding
a baby to her chest.
She was
only twenty-two
Too young
to be in this place.
Multiple
sclerosis was suspected
And I never will
forget her beautiful face.
I walked slowly
to my car
With tears
streaming down my face
As I prayed
for God to heal her
With his amazing
grace.
The pain and
heartache I felt for her
Mere
words can not convey.
My eyes were
blinded by my tears
As I prayed all
the way home that day.
Today I hugged a
stranger
Although I will
never know her plight
I say a daily
prayer for her each day
Before I turn
out the light.
"Through God all
things are possible"

It was on 11-14-05
when I met Rene at an imaging center.
I didn't get her
last name and I have no way to find her.
I called
the church her husband said they attended
but they
didn't know anybody by their first names.
I can only pray for
God to heal her.
Every mother needs
to be able to hold her children.
Every child needs
their mother.
