Hot Pizza Brings a Look to Last Forever

--by urluved, posted Feb 27, 2010

Not too long ago I made a trip to the grocery store. It was in the evening and past dark. As I entered the door I noticed a man off to the side with a small cardboard sign that read something to the effect: "needing change for a hot meal."

I also noticed several people passing him by with little more than a glance. He looked to be a traveller and seemed to be very humbled at having to ask of others. I too walked on by, but with a seed of an idea planted in my mind. I went to the far back of the grocery store where they offer the only thing I could think of that would be hot. I bought him a couple slices of pizza and immediately went back outside to offer it to him. I told him that it wasn't much but it was the only thing they had that was hot. I smiled gently and turned to walk away and as I did he smiled back with a deep appreciation and let out a very soft "thank you." That look was worth 10 times more to me than what I had been able to offer him, and it was a look I won't forget.
