Lending A Hand
Today as I was driving to my grocery store to go get gas I saw a guy holding a cardboard sign up by a dangerous intersection . As I drove past I saw him wave his sign a little at me. Before I stopped to get gas I felt I needed to help him whatever I could do. I bought loaf of bread, peanut butter + a ginger ale .I went to my car and got out new plastic knife, fork + spoon added a little money. I walked down he little hill and saw the homeless guy still there .I called out hello he looked at me coming down to him . I stopped and handed him the bag of groceries . I said here you go I wish I could do more. Thank you. What's your name? Greg . hi what happened ? I went on vacation when I came back my house was burned to the ground. Oh my, I'm so sorry I'll pray for you. I have to start all over again from scratch . I'm so sorry is there a place you can go ? I know Greensburg has a place .Right now I'm staying with a buddy well that's good but I have to be out at a certain time oh temporarily then? Yeah. I'll have my church pray for you. Thank you. You take care Greg.
