It was cold last night…

There are those that look on a homeless man with bloodshot eyes as a lost cause.  Certainly not a cause worth giving money to.  People will say, “Don’t give the person money.  He will just go buy alcohol.”  I suppose that may be true…

I prefer a bit different perspective.  I prefer to count my blessings and share them with another and attach no strings.  I prefer to give with little expectation other than to possibly create an opportunity to tell another about the love of Jesus.

I woke William and gave him some cash.  He looked at it.  Stuck it in his pocket and replied, “It was cold last night.”  I agreed and asked God’s blessing on William.  I felt good about my investment in William’s life.  I’m hoping my cash authenticates God’s love for William in a way he can understand.

Live life with an open hand…
