Spontaneously Helping a Family in Need


--by madeusmile, posted Jan 10, 2012

Today my husband and I passed through an intersection with a man and wife holding a sign that read: "Out of work, family hungry".  We weren't in the lane nearest them. 

We got almost all the way home when my husband said, "I should have given him a $20."

I said, "Go back, you know he'll still be there." 

We turned the car around and drove all the way back.  We handed them the money and wished them better luck.  They were really appreciative and seemed genuine in their plea. 

Please join me in praying that the find an easier path soon.

To know that someone cares, must have greatly lifted their spirits.
