I'm learning to be grateful for the sparks of hope God offers us through people who collide with our lives. As I left church on a bone-chilling day, a gentleman stopped me with great excitement. He had just been given a pair of gloves and a hat that fortuitously matched the color his bicycle.
"That's cool," I told him with half-hearted enthusiasm, trying to extricate myself politely from the conversation.
"It's not just cool," the man replied, "it's a blessing. When you don't have much, let alone gloves and a hat, this is a blessing. I hope you can see that."
"Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. "
