Dickens speaks Truth
In Dickens’ The Christmas Carol Martha Cratchet asks how tiny Tim was in church and Bob Cratchet responds:
As good as gold and better. Somehow he gets thoughtful, sitting by himself so much, and thinks the strangest things you ever heard. He told me, coming home, that he hoped the people saw him in the church, because he was a cripple, and it might be pleasant to them to remember, upon Christmas day, who made lame beggars walk and blind men see.
That line always strikes me. Christ came today to heal me, a beggar and blind man. He came for you too. God Bless.
If only my life could also be a mirror to the good works of God. That people would see me and know something more of Him.
Lovely quote
