Sunday Morning Coffee Smiles

--by Aurelia, posted Aug 1, 2010

My friend and I were sharing Kindness Ideas with each other and one that she told me warmed my heart so I wanted to share it.

As a college student she knew, Cindy, would walk to church on Sunday mornings. She'd pass a park on the way and see homeless sleeping on the benches. She wanted to do something, but didn't know what and she felt afraid also to approach them. She prayed over it and decided she would stop and get a couple of coffees for them on her way to church next Sunday.

She headed out a little earlier than normal on Sunday and stopped at the coffee shop for 2 coffees. Sure enough there were 2 homeless men sleeping on the benches. She quietly walked over a placed the coffee next to each of them and then hurried off to church. On her way home she saw the 2 of them sitting there chatting and drinking the coffee. She figured that the coffee wasn't hot anymore, but they were happy and that warmed her heart...as it does mine thinking of it.
