He Seemed All Alone.

Between St. Louis and Kansas City, I saw a man walking all alone. He was talking on a cell phone so I figured that he was not just stranded out in the middle of nowhere. He was on a 'frontage road' on the other side of the freeway. My mind couldn't help but draw a parallel between that experience and those who are really 'walking alone' in life. Maybe some of you can relate to that path when you have felt like you were all alone. Let me first state that we are never trully alone. My heart aches for those individuals who tread the pathways of loneliness, either because of average decision-making or by no fault of their own. I have never felt completely and utterly alone. To those of you that have, I ask that you do all that you can so that others don't have to feel that same way. There are many who struggle, without even a strand of hope to hold on to, but we can be that single ray of hope that is all the help they really need. I needed a valuable reminder from the man across the freeway, to help me remember those who long for the help that they so desperately need. I want to be that help. I want to be 'in tune' so that when an urging comes to help someone else, that I will be ready. More importantly, still, is that my eyes and ears will be open and ready to react when the need of another is there. We are blessed, beyond measure!
