Mike
This is Mike, my 46th stranger in the 100 stranger project. He was asking for money on the street corner. I offered him some money if he would chat with me and be my stranger. (Yes, money works sometimes.) He said sure, so we started talking. I felt such a sadness for him and wanted to pray for him. He welcomed the prayer, so I put out my hand to touch him and he told me I might not want to touch him because he had Hepatitis C. I told him that I still wanted to put my hand on his shoulder and wasn't afraid. He grinned. I touched him. The prayer of touch was what was needed.
Lessoned learned with this stranger: Actions of love speak louder than words of love.
