Used My Dalmatic to Shield Elderly Woman From Rain

It was sprinkling.  An elderly lady used her walker to go out to the car where her driver was waiting.  I remarked to her while waiting that she and her family reminded me of some deacons I knew in Washington, D.C.

She did not have an umbrella.  I took off my dalmatic and held it over her while she walked to her car.

The driver, Robin, remarked that her phone was in her purse.  She wanted to take a picture.  I should have let her, but I was just excited using my dalmatic, the outer vestment, literally as the vestment of justice and joy at that moment.

God knows what happened, even if men don't see a picture of it.
