wow god bless you and your husband!!! I was reading the journalling to my hubby, with a lump in my throat the whole time! Truly amazing, there should be more people like you in the world! Wherever that woman is, she will never forget you...EVER!!!! I am also so pleased to have crossed paths ,even if it is only through computer, with such a beautiful person! Have a wonderful Christmas and a prosperous New Year!
One day hubby and I were driving back to the base and we saw a lady walking that was pregnant and Also had an toddler in a stroller, she was dirty and just bad looking. We looked at each other and he at first said to me I cannot help everyone, and I said yes I know but I think she really needs our help baby.
Well we did what you are not suppose to do and that is pick her up. We picked up her and her child, took them to Wal-Mart and did some shopping for them and also for her daughter. We also fed them. I still just did not feel right about it and so hubby and I took her to a local shelter, which was “full” well after we told them what we did and if they could please make sure she was taken care of, they took her and her daughter in. What she did not know was, as she slept in our car headed toward the shelter, we snuck $300 into her diaper bag.
I have never seen this woman again, for all I know she could have been a crackhead, she could have been a prostitute but I did not care. At one point her life she was not homeless, she was not dirty, at one point in her life she was happy and smiling. I never look at people on the streets and turn my heads, but I automatically assume and think WHAT IF IT WERE ME IN THEIR SHOES. I would want someone to help me too if they were able. So before you JUDGE a person and clutch your purse and speed past them. SMILE and HELP a person that once stood where you do today.
