My homeless friend Carlos came by my business again yesterday. He saw my son bring a large cart of stuff into our shop and asked if we needed help unloading it. I told him no, but that I did have a small job for him if he was interested.
He very much was and he did what I had asked him. I paid him a little bit more than we had discussed because he was very thorough and did a great job. H.png)
e wanted to decline, saying that it was more than we agreed to, so he didn't want to take it. I told him he earned it and did more than I had asked, which I appreciated very much. He smiled and reluctantly accepted.
We talk a bit whenever he stops by. Each time I get to know a little more about my new friend and he about me. He is a nice man, just down on his luck.
I can't even imagine the struggles he faces and I can only hope that the few moments of kindness we share whenever he stops by help make his day a little brighter. I know it does for me!
