The Blessing

The other morning as I was out for a walk on the bike path near my home, I encountered a homeless man, an unhoused neighbor. He was walking my way, no shirt, bare feet, with a backpack and a big smile. As we neared he looked me right in the eyes and said with a big warm smile, “Health and long life to ya.”

I can’t tell you how wonderful that fellow pilgrim’s blessing made me feel inside. It made a beautiful day more beautiful.  Such is the power of a blessing.

May you find someone to bless today.

Peace, Fred
