Over the years there has been an internal debate on how to respond to people on the corner with a sign.
Sometimes I give and sometimes I don’t. Once when the kids were real little, I noticed a regular and decided to put a jug of water in the car for him. It was more than a week before I saw him again. I got a lot of flack from the kids dad.
However, last week as I was coming to a corner and saw someone standing there a question flashed through my mind.
What if that was Gpa? Or another loved one? Or what if that was me? How would I respond then?
I had a dollar in my purse and I gave it to him when it was my turn at the stop sign.
And as usual when I do reach out and give, he said, “God bless you.” The one with nothing blesses the one with much.
I responded, “God bless you.” And hence we had church on the side of the road.
