I rarely give money to people just asking for it. I do remember, a couple of years ago, driving down the road and seeing an obviously down-on-his-luck guy sitting in front of an old and closed down 7-11. I am not sure what possessed me, and I have to believe it was a gentle nudging of the Holy Spirit, but I circled around and drove into the parking lot. He looked a little surprised at me pulling up. I held a 20 out the window and and said, "Here, take this, I hope it helps to make your day better". He gave me one of the best smiles I have ever gotten, worth at least 20 bucks. Before he could worry about my agenda, I told him to have a good day and drove off.

I know there are people who think that was nuts, but it just felt right to me. That old, closed store is now one of those places where you can gamble the title to your car for a quick loan. I rarely drive by it that I don't wonder how that guy is doing.
