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