and I was going to get lunch at McD's. While in the line a woman in front of me held out $3 and something cents and asked if I could buy her lunch and pay the difference. Okay...conference with HP and said I would taking the 3 bucks. HP asked me what do you need her 3 bucks for? Hmmmm actually I don't I thought so I gave it back to her for her own use later on and stayed in line with her. She was very thin, worn and tired...stuff with her didn't match sanity and that was not my concern yet we talked me mostly answering her questions...she was trying to feel comfortable with what seemed to me must be a usual event and we approached the counter. She wanted a quarter pounder with cheese meal and I wanted to try the new quarter pounder with swiss...(not good at all for me...choices). The sales person was a usual for me over the past 20+ years and she sees all the street people and when this gal got in front of her she gave her an ugly attitude which again I stayed out of with the urge to step in. HP held my spirit telling me he had it...the situation in hand. He did and this street gal was calm and accepting. My soul cried for those who seem to have problems while others act as if they might need more. We got our meals and I got the bonus of a thank you hug. I turned her over and am positive HP still has her. Its powerful knowing I wasn't alone...I love and am amazed how HP works. Thanks for letting me share. (((((hugs)))))
Love, love, love hearing RAOK - random acts of kindness. Your guided gift to this person gives me hope for our world, which at times I shake my head at.
Way to go Jerry's HP (and Jerry too)!!
Great share - brightened my evening...
