Sacred Hands

Amazing Grace Moments.....

Christina Torre, age 44 and daughter of legendary coach Torre, was eating yogurt, enjoying the peace and calm of a corner shop. Meanwhile, her eyes caught sight of a toddler dangling from the window across the street.  Out the door she ran, opening her arms in time to catch the infant as he plummeted flights up.  Despite yesterday's post about Superman not flying around to save people--Christina Torre was in the right place at the right time to do just that.  Maybe the God's honest truth is that we can be his hands in the world for amazing acts of grace--and make sure you get this point--without having to be his puppets.

Christina Torre: Sacred Hands

Believe it or not, the same thing happened in China the next day. Several deliverymen were making the way through an alley, when looking up, they spied an infant out on a fire escape. They gathered underneath when the child just fell off.  She landed into their hands, but fell through receiving slight bruises.  The child woke up from what appeared to be a sleep!

In both cases, people outstretched hands to receive life--to be there for life's protection.  The obvious truth?  They did not just ignore these children!  An automatic reflex!  They were drawn to them like magnets--a pole star implanted in their souls. 

And in the same way, don't Christians reach out almost instinctively for bread and wine, the Life for all lives?
