Perhaps Today You Are a Lifeboat

-->
Perhaps Today You are a Lifeboat

Perhaps, today, when you leave home, you become a lifeboat.  How would that be? 

You could, by some words or actions, actually save someone’s life.  You could go up to them, and in some magically mystical way, you could be the catalyst for some good in their lives. 

There are a lot of desperate people in our world today.  They wear all kinds of labels, dress in all kinds of garbs, speak in languages we only wish we half understood.  And yet, some of them need a lifeboat.  These are dangerous times, and in dangerous times, people get desperate.  They look for help, and hope, and a savior in human form. 

What can you and I do?

Indeed … what.

Be aware.
Be in tune with who is around us.
Listen for the unspoken cries.
If you have something to give, then give if you can.

Lifeboats come in a variety of ways.  Some are actual boats.  Some look like a box of fried chicken, or a can of soup.  Some lifeboats sound like genuine care and friendship.

Yes … maybe today is our day to be a lifeboat.


This is what is
on my mind today.
