Can I share a blessing?
Can I share a blessing I just got? I'm at work at the dialysis clinic where I work. I like to use a particular type of gel pen and mine was running out so I walked next door to the Dollar Store to get a pack. There were two guys standing in the parking lot who looked pretty scruffy, both holding cans in their hands. I didn't see what they had and my first thought was that they might already be drinking. (This isn't the best of neighborhoods!) I went in the store and got my pens and when I came out the guys were still there. They nodded at me but didn't speak or ask me for anything. I then realized that the cans they were holding were Campbell's Soup cans and they were eating cold soup for breakfast. I walked past them and then turned around and went back to speak to them. I asked them what they were eating and one guy quickly showed me what he was holding in his hand. I pulled $10 out of my pocket and gave to them and encouraged them to go get a hot breakfast. They just seemed so shocked and kept saying "are you sure?" One of them said they were heading to McDonald's! I wished them a Merry Christmas and headed back to the office. I swear I felt like I was floating! I was blessed to have parents who demonstrated giving as I was growing up. I'm so blessed that I'm in tears!
