When I see other people in stores, in church, on the raod, etc., I think about how much Jesus loves them and died for them so that they could be saved and I wonder if they know that. It helps me to look past their scowls, frowns, smiles and faces and see them as God would want me to see them - like HE sees them. Those that society considers “throw-aways” are, in truth, individual creations of Almighty God, whom are loved and He knows every hair on their heads!

I thought of that recently while reading the passage in Corinthians (one of them) in which St. Paul explains that the parts of the body that are less "presentable" are clothed with more honor. In the metaphor, that means that we as the Church should show more honor to the people who seem "least worthy": the handicapped, the elderly, children, the sick.

That is a beautiful sentence! Seriously, something to think about and pray about every day.
