My Heart Was Tugged

--by drjogi, posted Sep 7, 2012

It was a really chilly evening when I left the office to go to my P.O. Box. When I arrived in the little shopping center, it was alive with folks bundled up in warm coats going about their busy lives. To the side of the post office sat a woman on a cement wall, dressed only in sweatpants, a hoodie, and tennis shoes. Beside her were a few plastic bags of belongings. She looked down when anyone came near her, and shyly looked up to glance when they went by. She clearly was homeless. She clearly touched my heart. She had to be so cold.

I got into my car to leave, but just couldn't. My heart was so tugged. Then, I remembered that I had a brand new down hiking coat in my trunk. I also had some blankets that I was going to give to the homeless. This was my chance.

I walked up to her with the coat, a blanket and a $20 bill.

"You must be cold," I said, "Would you like to have these?"

She replied, "Oh, yes, please."

As I walked away, I was a little numb with joy.

"Thank you so much, Ma'am," she called faintly.

I don't think I've ever felt so much good.

To this day, I look for her and think of her. And I pray that she is warm and okay.

I was the one who was blessed by this woman's humbleness and vulnerability. Now, I am blessed by the kindness of each of you. What a lovely site this is...
