I've been wanting to do this for a long time, so I think I will. Inspired by the strength of the people on givesmehope.com, the next time I go to WalMart, I will bring a hot cup of tea, a paper plate of muffins, and my biggest coat to give to a homeless man that sits underneath the road light on the knoll in front of my neighborhood WalMart's parking lot. He's been sitting there for months with a sign that says "Homeless-- cannot find job", and I've always felt this ache to help him in the only way I really can--by giving him some kindness. I won't give him any money, since I don't know if he's the kind of homeless guy that would use it to buy drugs or booze, but I'll still give him the food and coat, and I'll give him a note along with it, saying "enjoy. "

There was another homeless man that sat there before him, but I think he either died, moved on, or finally found a job. I wonder what happened. I also wonder wonder if this man was the victim of this failing economy, and that makes me sad, but quite glad that he still has the determination to go out there every day to that same spot and ask for help, without being afraid of people who might hurt him, or getting kicked off of his post. I pray that he is warm tonight.
