Wow! They don't make them like that anymore! Well done and when your time is up and you can see the light of God he will smile at you for that act of kindness and probably many others...Blessings to you and Happy New Year

Wow, Barbara, what a wonderful story. I had
something similar to that happen last spring.
I was on my way to Cracker Barrel to pick up
a phone in order. I parked my car and got out
and just then another car drove behind my car
and stopped, blocking my car in. The driver
was a man, and in the passenger seat was
a woman, with 2 kids in the back seat. It was
a blazing hot day (surprise! surprise! in Tx :)).
The woman said they were going to a shelter,
but couldn't go until that night and her kids were
hungry. She asked for money for food. I thought
a minute, and then told her that if they would
come inside, I would pay for a meal for all of them.
They said alright and I walked passed their car,
thinking they would park and come in. Then I
looked and saw them drive away, out the exit.
In that case they didn't want money for food,
but for something else. I felt so bad for the kids
having to go along with what the parents were doing,
but I know I did the right thing to offer to feed them.
Have a Great Day!
