I was on my way home, after work, and after stopping at Trader Joes. As I pulled up to the intersection, I saw a man with a sign. I didn't actually read the sign, the only thing I saw was "HOMELESS". And by some miracle, I actually had cash. So I pulled out a couple dollars. Then I asked him if he wanted a piece of fruit (since I just came from the store, and the front seat was full of groceries). He seemed surprised that I'd offer. I wanted to give him an apple. But the light changed before I found them, so I gave him an un-ripe nectarine. (At which point I felt really bad, because aside from it not being ripe yet, he also didn't have a lot of teeth). He said "Thank you! God bless you. Have a good night".
All I could think as I drove away was that God has already blessed me. I'm able to give to people. I have an abundance of food. I have enough money that I can be picky about what I buy and eat. I have a home. I have wonderful pets who only want food and love (not always in that order). I have a wonderful, hardworking husband.
Then as I drove on Let My Love Open the Door came on the radio. Perfect, no?
