I often make light of such situations, Is it not right?
The other day I stoped and got the Arby's 5 for 5 and tooled on down the road.
While at a stop light there was a man bearing a sighn that said HELP will work for food. I drive all around the twin cities and see this quite regularly. So as I was chowing down on my roast beef. I thought, Well I do have four others, surley I can spare one. So I rolled down the window and gave My brother a sandwich.
He looked me in the EYES (half inibreatedit seemed) and said Spend Thanks Givining with your family. And appreciate it. WOW! It seems that God is always humbling me.

Ever had an "angel" meet up with you, Cowpoke? Ok, RET has not lost it .... personal story ...

We hadn't lived in this town very long (I was in HS), maybe 5 months, when this happened. We had been attending a large church, so we didn't know a lot of the members. One night, our door bell rang around 9:30. Kind of late in the evening for company. It was a couple that had moved away not long after we moved here. We remembered them vaguely ... so it was kinda weird that they had popped in unannounced. We visited, fed them since they had not eaten, etc. During the visit, I remember my dad sharing some information with them that was sort of personal. The couple was very kind and was full of great encouragement. When they left, they said they were going to visit a couple more families before they left town. We started asking people if the couple stopped by their house .... NO ONE had received a visit. In fact, NO ONE knew they were in town. No-one could even remember where they had moved to when they left our town. When they moved it was like all contact was lost. So it was a really odd feeling when we realized that this was a very special visit. It was VERY strange that my dad opened up to this couple, because he is a private man. After that visit, my dad felt much better about the situation he had openly shared. My mom and sister will swear these people were angels.

In fact, my sister will tell you, she wonders about the people holding those signs along the side of the road. ;)

Cowpoke, PLEASE tell me all of those sandwiches were not for YOU!

Beef and Chedder.:drunk:

Actually collin raye sang it best.

He came to town on an old freight train,
He jumped off in the pourin' rain.
Everybody said "He's insane",
"Just a low down no account hobo."

He made his bed 'neath the county bridge.
The city folk said "Hey that's not his!"
They signed a petition,
They're gonna get rid,
Of that low down no account white trash.

What if Jesus comes back like that,
On an old freight train,
In a hobo hat?
Will we, let him in or turn our back?
What if Jesus comes back like that?
OOOHHHH
What if Jesus comes back like that?

She was born into drug abuse,
She couldn't help what her momma used.
It wasn't like she got to choose,
Now she's layin' there all alone.
Gotta monkey on her back,
The nurse's say the never saw a smile like that.
Dr. says she might stand a chance,
If somebody takes her home.

What if Jesus comes back like that?
Two months early,
Hooked on crack.
Will we, let him in or turn our back?
What if Jesus comes back like that?
OOOHHHH
What if Jesus comes back like that?

Nobody said life is fair.
We've all got a cross to bare.
When it gets a little hard to care,
Just think about him hangin' there.

He came to town on a cold dark night.
A single star his only light.
A baby born that silent night.
A manger for his bed.

What if Jesus comes back like that,
Where will he find our hearts are at?
Will he, let us in or turn his back?
What if Jesus comes back like that?
Will he cry when he see's where our hearts are at?
Will he, let us in or turn his back?
What if Jesus comes back like that?
Hey! What if Jesus comes back like that?

Thanks everyone for reading this post ..
I just wanted everyone to know that there are always people in need ..

God knows what each and everyone of us and what we do ....

Yes it feels good inside to give ..Knowing that you shed a little sunshine into anothers life ..

The movie " PAY IT FOWARD "

Is a good movie to watch if your heart is alittle hardened.... :wave:

OK, Ret and another personal story. Sorry. Bryan said something that triggered my memory .....

You know, it's the little thoughtful actions or kind words that go a long way and you may never know it ...

Someone's having a bad day or feels all alone and you share a smile in passing. It may be the one thing that person desired ... to be looked at in the eyes and acknowledged.

Or simple acts of kindness ... I was in extensive physical therapy last year. Everything I did was painful. One day, I got gas and went in to pay. I couldn't pull the door to the store open. It was heavy and caused me much pain. A lady saw me wincing, ran over, opened the door, and waited until I paid and opened the door for me again. Big deal you may say. Well, it was for me. I think about that when I see a lady handling children or an elderly person ....

It all boils down to kindness and looking outside our little selfish world and reaching out to others.
