In today's world we sometimes forget that there are people less fortunate than we are. Ok, there are some days that you see people by the side of the road and they have a worn out sign they are holding asking for help.I have seen many cars just pass by when the light turns green. I've done it. But about a week ago I was exiting the freeway and saw a man at the light collecting money from the various people waiting for the light to turn green.I sat there and wondered Wow! All these people are giving him money. I was smiling that people were giving from there heart and if you know me I have a big HEART.As the line moved forward, this man came into clear view. He was hopping up and down the lanes. It looked like one of his legs was amputated.My heart dropped and I couldn't help but wonder what happened to this man?As the light turned green and I pulled forward I pulled out a $5 bill and rolled down my window and gave the money to him. He smiled and said God Bless You!I said God Bless You! He replied, "He has he lead you down this road today!"I could feel the tears filling up in my eyes. I couldn't believe he saw that God put me in the right place at the right time. And it was true; I don't usually get off at that off ramp. And my rational mind told me to go a different way, but my subconscious took me the way of this man.I haven't seen that man again on the off ramp of that freeway. But whether God lead me to him that day I will never know for sure, but I have let God lead the way.I must have set an example for my husband, because last night he went to 7 Eleven to buy a 7 Up and a man in a wheel chair, we helped once before with his phone, was talking to my husband and said he hadn't eaten in 4 days.Padraic didn't have much money but bought the man a sandwich and gave him a $1. Wow! Padraic was lead by God.Good People are out there! 1 man can feed millions and never get reconginition, and millions can feed 1 man and get recognition, which one are you? |
