On the way home from work i passed a street corner just like most every day. There's usually someone panhandling on one of these corners. There's a rotating cast of characters. This is not about whether or not to give to panhandlers, they made their bed let them sleep in it, none of that.
I saw two people on the corner. One of them clearly homeless. The status of the other was not completely obvious at first. Well the lady hands the homeless guy a small sack from the QT on the other side of the intersection. They look inside, she pretty clearly tells him what is inside. They talk for just a few seconds. She reaches her hand out, puts it on his shoulder, and she clearly prays for / with the guy. Pretty long prayer too. When she's done the guy looks up and clearly says "thank you". As the light changed were still talking.
I doubt it changed much in the world. But then again, maybe it did? All i know is i'm a little better off for the experience. There's some decent people left in this world.
Be the change...
