  • My Great-Aunt Lena and the Communion Basket, Remembering Jesus

She stood close to the street corner. Her weight of burden pressed against her shopping cart filled with her treasures of a home. She reminds me of a bird somewhat. Building her nest in this sacred place but only for a season. Her wrinkles are like the threads woven in an old quilt. And she survives the worn. The old. She wears this scarf around her head and to most—those who pass her by—she is nothing more than the dirty and shame of homelessness. But to God her covering—it’s the veil of one of His daughters. And I know God sees her. It’s dark. And my soul is aching for just one glimpse of her story. To reach for her hand. To ask how I can help. I am afraid. Vulnerable, perhaps. What if she snaps in anger? What if she just wants to be left alone? But what if God placed her in this very spot—on this very night. For me. As a message. And like the rest of the busy—I walk on by, but not before taking one more look back. I see you dear lady. And I whisper a prayer for her—for me. #amwriting #widows #orphans #homelessness #godsees
