A Spontaneous Gesture

--by roshanjahan73, posted Feb 17, 2011

One day when I was walking towards my office in the morning rush hour, I saw an old and very poor lady sitting near the gate of my building. I guess she was begging for money.

So many strangers were moving around her, I saw that they were all ignoring her plight - busy in their own daily routine. I don't know what it was, but something moved me to reach out to her. I took out my lunch box and water bottle and gave it to her without giving it a second thought.

She was so surprised and happy. A tear ran down one of her eyes. It made me feel so good to help her a little bit and it reminded me that sometimes it takes very little to make someone smile and feel a bit more secure.

Blessings find you!
