Yesterday, I helped a 2-year-old boy who was lost & frightened. He was shaking, with tears in his eyes, but he wasn’t making a sound. I had my own plans, & I almost missed him.

I asked, “Are you lost?” He reached out his arms, so I picked him up. I asked him a few more questions, but he didn’t answer. He just squeezed me more tightly. I repeated, "Everything is OK. I'm going to help you. You're not alone."

It took us about 5-minutes to find his Dad. By the time we did, the boy was gripping me so tightly, we had a hard time detaching him.

The experience reminded me of this:

There are people everywhere who need love. Don’t be too focused on your own mission to see them.
Sometimes, the people who need the most love don’t ask & never make a sound. Look for them. Convince them they are not alone.
We all have moments where we lose sight of our Father. The greatest gift we can give is to help each other get home.
