I was at the gas station yesterday when a man came up to the truck and asked if he could "borrow a dollar". I'm thinking about "yeah right" he probably want to but beer with it.
So I asked "If I give you a dollar, what are you going to buy with it"?
His reply was " I'm a little short to get my daughter a sandwich to eat",
"Your daughter"? "yes" then he pointed back to the side of the store where she was sitting.
Now this man had looked like he was in need of a bath and a lot of "other things" too.
I asked "Where do you live" He said around the corner with his mom. I told him to "wait there and I would get some change".
I went inside and purchased three sandwiches and three drinks. I gave them to the man an told him to give one to his mother as well.
As if here was a "parting of the seas" it felt really good to help someone with the simplest of things like getting something to eat.
I did give him the dollar too.
Maybe they will eat tomorrow as well.
Clint.
