would you hug a homeless person?

this is extracted from the book entitled

"holding on to your faith even when God doesn't make sense"

Mr. Krebs and his wife have a 21-year-old son named Chris, whom they had been advised
to abort when still in the womb. They chose to give him life, and he was born with cerebral
palsy. He is also profoundly retarded. His parents do not regret their decision to bring him into
the world, because they believe that all life is precious. They are thankful for this son, who has
touched their lives in warm and wonderful ways.

"God has used him as he is", Mr. Krebs said.

Then he described something that happened when Chris was just seven years old. He said, "my wife worked in a hospital at the time, and i had taken Chris with me and i waited for her
in one of the family rooms. There was another man there who was not well dressed and, in
fact, was a little smelly. I went to the nurses' station to ask how much longer my wife
would be, and when i returned, i saw Chris sitting by the man. The man was sobbing, and
I wondered what Chris had done to offend him. I began to apologize.

"I'm sorry if my son offended you," i said.
"the man replied, 'Offended me? Offended me? Your son is the only person who has hugged me in the last 20 years!"

"I realized at the moment Chris had a more Christlike love for this man than
I did."

I agree whole-heartedly that there is no "junk" in God's value system. He loves
every one of us the same, and He uses each person, even the profoundly
retarded to acomplish some part of His purpose. He will also use your pain,
although it is not always immediately possible to interpret it.
