WE had just stopped for a soft drink on the way home. We noticed a little old man walking towards the store. My brother was waiting for me in the truck as I made the beverage purchase. I fumbled with some loose change. I paid the clerk.
I encountered the little old man with his red gas can. He asked for a bit of change. I gave him about 29 cents. It clearly looked like he needed dough for his vehicle which I surmised he must have left to the east of the store.
I hopped on the truck and gave my brother the 7-UP he had requested and I opened my RC Cola can. I had had an urge for Royal Crown Cola. Being the RC Knight that I am.
My brother asked me if I had encountered the little old man and I said yes. I had given him 29 cents.
We had very little on us, but we gave.
A rule of thumb: carry loose change or small bills in your pockets so as not to "advertise" your huge bills in your purse or wallet. Use your head and your heart.
Sometimes we may run into folks that are not as benign.
GOD comes to us in many persons.
