Stories of Kindness from Around the World

I have a nice Christmas story to share. I've been making Christmas cards the past week or so for friends and hand out to random people. Christine Eve I gave several to the employees at the casino down the street from me. Then I gave a few to cashiers at QT and a little girl in line. I did the same today(Christmas). I made about 20 more. I went to the casino, got a free soda and filled them out. I handed them out to other employees. I went back to QT. I tried to buy a $1 scratch ticket with my last dollar, they were out. I still handed out cards. I went to Circle K to get a scratcher. I got the ticket. (Sadly not a winner) I gave the cashiers and customers cards. I had 8 cards left. I decided to go to Walgreens. A homeless man was outside in the front. I said hello, I don't have any money to help you but Merry Christmas, I handed him a card. He started to tear up and went to hug me. It was a hug of hope, love and despair all in one. I told him God Bless You. I went inside and handed out the rest of the cards. As I walked outside, I told the man, take care. As I was walking he yelled out 'Do you have a pair of socks?!' Normally the answer would be no. Who carries socks in their car? However, my friend had brought me a Christmas gift to my work Thursday. Inside was a pair of Christmas tube socks. I told her, how ironic, I had just been at Dollar Tree the day before looking for one pair of tube socks and they had none. Then me being the lazy person that I am, I have had the gift bag in my car since Thursday. If I hadn't tried to buy a lottery ticket at QT and they be out, I wouldn't have gone to Circle K. Then by having cards still, I wouldn't have gone to Walgreens. I would've have been able to give the man the socks. As I gave him the socks he asked if he could pray for me. I said yes. We bowed our heads, put our arms around each other and he prayed for ME. I'm not homeless, I have a job and he thought to pray for me. I then prayed for him. It was a great moment. God bless that man.
