What does this mean... a very strange encounter.

This world is strange, I guess you'll agree...

Well, today I was walking down the street to get some breakfast. It was a miserable morning, and I felt so down that I had certain plans I won't discuss any further. It was very early, about 7 AM, the place was deserted.  Upon returning, walked down the street and a woman approached me out of nowhere, stopped me and said: "Do you want to have this picture?" I looked, and she had a very strange picture of Jesus and Maria, in gold and a cross behind it.

I never seen someone offering me such an item, so I got scared in a way and walked away, declining the picture.

But as I walked home, I felt instantly better. Before I was incredibly depressed, and had thoughts about death. And now, here I am on top of the world. And I don't understand it... she came to me when I was at my all time low... very strange, isn't it?

Anyone heard about ladies that give a away gold pictures of Jesus and Maria?

it's so awkward... especially the timing.

I think it means that there are still some nice people in the world who care about others.  I know when some people are down and are just thinking about ending it all, a simple warm-felt "hi" from a stranger could literally mean the difference between life and death. I know that this is kind of unrelated, but that's part of the reason why I try to be patient with strangers talking to me, because you never know what they could be going through.  Sometimes knowing that others will hear you out, or even give you something can brighten a person's mood.
