My parents are up visiting for a few days, & today while we were out & about we stopped to have lunch at Tim Hortons. Just after we had gotten our food as we were bowing our heads to pray, a man came up to us & said, "Please could you buy me some food? I have not eaten in 2 days."
At first we said no. We didn't have any cash or change with us, then I thought about how we were bowing our heads to pray, thanking God for the food we have while this man is asking for a meal. I got out my credit card & went after the man to tell him I'd buy him some lunch. At that point he was at another table asking another woman for some food. She was reaching into her purse as I came up to him & said, "I'll buy you something."
The man replied, "She's going to give me some money."
The lady said, "I only have about a dollar."
"That's ok," he said to both of us, "she's giving me some money, you don't need to buy me anything."
Funny how if he hadn't eaten in 2 days he was happy only getting $1 rather than having a meal bought for him!
