The Kindness of Sharing a Moment

"Since you cannot do good to all, you are to pay special attention to those who, by the accidents of time, or place, or circumstances, are brought into closer connection with you."
~ Saint Augustine

Recently, there were two women who didn't know each other well sitting on a bus together.  One shared that she was fighting a difficult health battle and was heading out of town to have more tests done.  The other woman listened and assured the first one that she would keep her in her thoughts and prayers.  Before they parted, as the first woman blinked back tears, the second one squeezed her hand.  Sometimes an unanticipated moment of connection can help us along the journey.
