Kindness on the Way to Halloween

"Somewhere near you, somebody right now is trying to help the indigent and poor - providing food, shelter, clothing or simple kindness."
― Tony Snow

A friend of mine and her family drove to another part of town this weekend in search of a Halloween costume for one of their children.  On the ride back, they drove through a fast-food place to feed their troops.  After they drove away, the husband discovered an extra sandwich in their bag.  "I guess they knew you were extra hungry," the wife said.  A few minutes later, they saw a homeless man asking for help at an intersection and they gave him the extra sandwich.  The wife gave him her fries, too.  "It was meant for the homeless guy," my friend said, "It feels so good to do something nice for someone you don't even know."  Just a little kindness on the way to Halloween.
