i saw a beautiful thing today…

at the 51st street exit off the 24, there is often someone, presumably homeless, in need of money.  today was no different, except there were two people there today - one older, disheveled man, and one visibly disabled woman.  as i neared them, i reached for some change nearby and gave it to the man, simply because he was closest to me.  as i drove off, i couldn’t help but notice the man turn around, and deposit the change i had just given him, right into the woman’s cup.

that man’s action speaks for itself.  may he be blessed in ways innumerable…
