The weather in Central Florida has been warm and sunny. There hasn't been any rain. Yet, just the other day, everyone was surprised to wake up to morning rain showers. Thankfully I grabbed an umbrella as I headed out the door, but not everyone was prepared.

I was on my way to rehearsals at Disney, and had parked my car backstage. The only parking left was way towards the back and required a lengthy walk to the cast entrance. As I was walking, I noticed an older gentleman ahead of me in the distance walking with a limp and he did not have an umbrella. I could tell that he was trying to hurry because he was getting wet. I was too far to do anything. I felt so bad. Just then, a woman with an umbrella offered to help him keep dry and walk with him to the entrance. I was touched.

I started to reflect on Matthew 25 and what Jesus says about "the least of these." I don't know if this woman was Christian, but what an example of demonstrating the love of Christ: she outreached to a total stranger who needed help by keeping him dry.
