The
Pink Dress
There
was this little girl sitting by herself in the park. Everyone passed by
her and never stopped to see why she looked so sad. Dressed in a worn pink
dress, barefoot and dirty, the girl just sat and watched the people go
by. She never tried to speak. She never said a word. Many people passed
by her, but no one would stop.
The
next day I decided to go back to the park in curiosity to see if the little
girl would still be there. Yes, she was there, right in the very
spot where she was yesterday, and still with the same sad look in her eyes.
Today
I was to make my own move and walk over to the little girl. For as we all
know, a park full of strange people is not a place for young children to
play alone. As I got closer I could see the back of the little girl's dress
was grotesque shaped.I figured that was the reason people just passed by
and made no effort to speak to her. Deformities are a low blow to our society
and, heaven forbid if you make a step toward assisting someone who is different.
As
I got closer, the little girl lowered her eyes slightly to avoid myintent
stare. As I approached her, I could see the shape of her back more clearly.
She was grotesquely shaped in a humped over form. I smiled to let her know
it was OK; I was there to help,to talk. I sat down beside her and opened
with a simple, "Hello".
The
little girl acted shocked, and stammered a "Hi"; after a long stare into
my eyes. I smiled and she shyly smiled back.
We
talked until darkness fell and the park was completely empty. I asked the
girl why she was so sad.
The
little girl looked at me with a sad face said, "Because, I'm different".
I immediately
said, "That you are!"; and smiled.
The
little girl acted even sadder and said, "I know."
"Little
girl," I said, "you remind me of an angel, sweet and innocent".
She
looked at me and smiled, then slowly she got to her feet and said, "Really?".
"Yes,
you're like a little Guardian Angel sent to watch over all those people
walking by".
She
nodded her head yes, and smiled.
With
that she opened the back of her pink dress and allowed her wings to spread,
then she said
"I
am. I'm your Guardian Angel". With a twinkle in her eye.
I was
speechless -- sure I was seeing things.
She
said, "For once you thought of someone other than yourself. My job here
is done".
I got
to my feet and said, "Wait, why did no one stop to help an angel?"
She
looked at me, smiled, and said, "Your the only one that could see me";
and then she was gone.
And
with that, my life was changed dramatically.
So,
when you think you're all you have, remember, your angel is always watching
over you.
Like
the story says, we all need someone. Every one of your friends is an Angel
in their own way.
The
value of a friend is measured in the heart.
I hope
your Guardian Angel watches over you always.
Be
Blessed!! Just repeat this phrase and see how God moves!! Lord I love you
and I need you, come into my heart, please.
