stranger of mine

People come into your life when you need them most.  God places them in your path at defined moments, that is, if you believe in God, and I do.  I believe there is a higher being and power constantly watching over me.  These people may not remain, but will leave behind a word, phrase, touch, or look that will leave an imprint on your life forever.  They help you through hard times, bad days, good days, and decisions.  They don’t have to say anything, their look is enough.  You may never see their face again but you know how they made you feel, and for that, you will never forget them or what they have done for you. 


Usually, they are not aware of the impression they have made.  They may not know your name, your face, your voice, or even your existence, but that is not their objective.  They are placed before you, for you to take notice of them, to be aware of them, and appreciate and use what they have given you.  They are in your life for a purpose, it may be for only a second or a lifetime, but they are there because you need them to be there. 

They are on the street, in the seat next to you, behind the counter, next in line, in the next room, in a book, on a page, or waiting on the other line.  You may know them, you may not.  They may be permanent fixtures in your life, they may not.  They may be a friend, acquaintance, or a stranger, but they are there, waiting to connect with you.  Allow yourself to be touched by them.  You may not fully recognize or comprehend why they are placed in your life at specific moments, but you will.  It may be tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, or ten years from now, but one day it will all make sense and fall into place.

Be thankful of these people.  Most will never know how they have impacted and touched your life.  Many are not aware they have done anything at all, but they have.  Take notice of these people, be aware of them, be grateful and appreciative them.  Understand that you have the power to impact someone’s life, good or bad.  Someone once said, “They may not remember you, but they will always remember the way you made them feel.”  This is true, for everyone.  Just by reading this, you have impacted and changed my life.
