The Kindness of a Shared Salad

"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

On a recent Saturday morning over coffee, friends of ours -- a couple -- shared an experience they had had with a homeless person the day before.  They were on their way home from work when they saw a homeless man at the intersection asking drivers for help.  The husband asked him if he would like salad, which his wife was bringing home from the office.  Immediately, the gentleman's face lit up with a smile and he told them yes and that it was perfect because he was a vegetarian.  The wife also gave him some muesli that she had.  The man thanked them profusely.  The husband said that it felt so good to help someone else, even in such a small way.
