Kindness at an Intersection

"God has given us two hands - one to receive with and the other to give with.  We are not cisterns made for hoarding; we are channels made for sharing."
~ Billy Graham

A woman I know had been looking for the veteran in camouflage whom she usually sees at a certain intersection.  She had bought a bag of nonperishable food items and a grocery store gift card for him the day before Thanksgiving and was eager to give them to him.  She had driven by the intersection where she usually sees him three times, but nothing.  A couple of days later, she made a small detour from her intended route to go by the intersection and there he was.  She called out to him and gave him the bag as well as the gift card.  He thanked her and said that he had been looking for her, too.  He shared that he was running out of the food that someone had given him on Thanksgiving.  Before driving away, the woman asked him, "What do you need?" He told her that he needed clothes and shoes, and told her his shoe size.  As they were leaving, her daughter said, "I know what we can get him for Christmas."
