There is a true story about a bedraggled young homeless man who walked into a church. He was late and the church was full. As a result, he walked down the aisle, and sat down square on the floor. Of course, all the parishioners were glaring at him the entire time. Now, a greeter, who also happened to be a church deacon, began walking from the back towards the unfortunate young man. Most everyone figured that the smelly vagrant would be ushered out of the church. However, this is when the most "strange and wonderful" thing occurred. Mr. Jones kneeled next to "Tommy", whispered something in his ear, and... sat down right next to him on the floor! The pastor had been presenting his sermon at the time, and stopped mid sentence. He was transfixed. He could only shake his head, and remind the congregation of the good Master's statement. "As much as you have done it to the least of my brethren, you have done it to Me."
