I didn’t have a lot of cash on me, but I ate at a fast food place a few months ago and after buying my meal with a $10, the only cash I had on me, I sat down to eat. I soon looked around and saw a woman I thought was homeless sitting a few booths over. She was drinking a coffee and I didn’t see any food. I stayed awhile, eating my meal and reading a magazine.

I saw her refill that coffee a few times while I was there. Shucks, I only had $3 and change on me, but the last time she went to get her coffee re-filled I was ready to leave… and I dropped the $3 by her gloves and hit the exit. I glanced back as I walked by the window to see this sort of confused look on her face as she returned to her booth.

It wasn’t much, but it felt priceless and I hope she was able to get some food.

One of these days when I have some time, I hope to find someone begging for cash and take them to a fast food or sub place and buy them a meal. I bet some of these people, especially a war vet would have some great stories to tell. Besides, after all they gave for me (and the rest of this nation) what’s a few bucks?

Seriously John, you just made my day with this post. That is exactly the kind of story I needed to hear. Let us know when you finally get a chance to take someone out for a meal. I would love to hear about it.

Keep up the great work.

Great story John. To give even when you have little is always worth it. Whats great about this story is you knew that you were going to get nothing in return. Your motives were right and that is what matters. Can’t wait until you can do the meal thing as well, thats sounds like a tremendous idea. God bless.
