What would you do with this?
One Man gives it to someone, anyone he considers a friend and tells them “This is what I give to the homeless”. Later that same day (while traveling his work route with the frozen water bottle) his friend gives it to an unsuspecting homeless lady he sees sitting on a curb in the 90% heat eating a sandwich. Between pushing the bite of food to the cheeks of her mouth and smiling, she responded with a look of total surprise. Was she surprised that the water was partially frozen and nice and cold AND just what she needed to rinse that sandwich down? Was she surprised that it had a $2 bill attached? Was she surprised that he stopped to give her anything at all? I can only imagine the many reasons she stood there beaming with joy. But what is clear to me is that one act of kindness brought joy to 4 people….the One Man who gave, the second man who received and gave, the 3rd person who received, and me. I felt the joy from hearing the story and guess what I’m gonna start doing?
