Saints
In his holy flirtation with the world, God occasionally drops a handkerchief. These handkerchiefs are called saints. (Frederick Buechner, “Wishful Thinking,” p 83)
Everybody has found one at one time or another, accidentally because we weren’t paying attention, unexpectedly because we weren’t at all curious. Watch for them. It’s like when you sneeze and God blesses you.
