Thought For The Day --

It is said that when Francis of Assisi left his wealth behind to seek God, he stripped naked and walked out of the city. The first person he encountered on his journey was a leper on the side of the road. He first passed him, then turned back. He embraced the leper in his arms before continuing his journey. A few steps down the road he turned and saw that the leper was gone. Until his dying day, Francis of Assisi was convinced that the leper was Jesus. Even if he was wrong, he was right.

This was in my inbox early this morning.  I already knew the story....but somehow reading this today, it touched me very deeply....

....maybe it's because TODAY is the day after YESTERDAY....

I don't know....
