I met a very sweet lady on Tuesday. I was stopping at Starbucks like I do everyday for my coffee. I had just left the counter and was walking outside when I passed a homeless lady I see almost everyday. You know the kind you just kind of glance at then begin to ignore after awhile.
I got halfway to my car and then turned around. I asked if she was OK and she said "Yes, thank you. Just hungry. Have a great day." I asked her to meet me at McDonald's (a couple of doors down) and got her some breakfast and coffee along with a gift card to purchase lunch and dinner later that day. She broke down in tears and couldn't have been more thankful. She was very polite and didn't ask for anything else. She sat and ate her breakfast and I went on to work.
Today, at the same Starbucks, I ordered my coffee and danish, got out my card to pay and the lady at the counter said "the guy in front of you paid for whatever you want. Have a great day!" Thank you God for your blessings, forgiveness, grace and love.
