I rolled down my window and handed him the smallest bill in my wallet.
[now that is a discussion for another day. why the smallest??? Is that how we want God to treat us??? Here you are in need and I give you the least that I have???]
Anyway, I gave him the smallest bill that I had, a $5. I rolled down my window and handed him the 5. Then I asked him his name. this was his response.
"My name is Donald Pitts my dad was in Vietnam I was in the Iraq war thank you for the donation I live in the woods in a tent behind the CVS."
And like every homeless person that I have met, he was a little mentally off. It broke my heart.

I used to say things like "why don't they get a job???" But now I have learned that they are almost all mentally challenged, which is why they are where they are in life.
Maybe I will find the camp behind the CVS and take them some breakfast tomorrow.
Or Maybe I will do nothing and just go on with MY LIFE. Not sure... Stay tuned.
It's a beautiful, first world day in God's world be sure to give, not see, but be sure to give the good.
