Still a Child of God
Then the white-bearded fat man rolled through the church doors. From afar he reminded me of Santa, but the alcohol seeping through his clothes contradicted that image.
“Can I help you sir?”
He stumbled towards me, “I have seen the light. I want to meet this Jesus.”
Even though his clothes were ragged, his hair unwashed, and I didn’t quite think he was sober; I couldn’t turn down a child of God.
“I would love to share my beliefs. We also have some great coffee.”
OH I love this.. have you seen the video by Jason Crabb look it up on Youtube it's called Someone Like Me

Sometimes it is hard to love others that aren't like us. It's good to always remember, no matter how down and out another human being is, somebody loved them once and they still deserve to be loved.~Ames
