I was just driving to an appointment when a really fun thing happened.
I had my dollar out on the seat, because I was planning to give it away in the lobby of the office where I was going. On the way there, I pulled up to a stop light and noticed a homeless person over on the curb. But what I really noticed was his sign!
Christmas is less than a week away, and this guy, as down in the dumps as he could have been, found a place of good cheer in his heart. His sign read, “While visions of cheeseburgers danced in their heads”! I rolled down my window and motioned for him to come over. While he was making his way to the car, I decided that I wanted him to have a little extra since he had brightened up my day. So I took out an extra dollar bill and gave ‘em both to him. He was most grateful!
As I pulled away, I laughed to myself as I realized it was time to re-write that rule, that guideline that I have that says I won’t give a dollar directly to someone.
Hey, there are some rules that are meant to be broken!
Many blessings, and the most joyous giving to you and yours,
Todd
