Lady

A few days ago I was running errands. As I was driving up Canfield I saw this lady. She held a cardboard sign, "Everyone needs a little help sometime." I usually keep driving when I see these signs. I always feel ill when I keep driving. So today I decided to stop. I pulled my truck into a nearby parking lot. I sat in the truck for a while wondering what I should do. Should I give a few dollars or should I help more. This lady was older. She was shaking from the cold and had such sad eyes. I got out of the truck to talk to her. I asked her what she needed help with. I felt embarrassment in her voice. She said she needed propane. We talked a little and I found out that she lived behind Target in a tent with her cat. My heart broke for her. I had to do something. I went to target and bought four cans of propane and two small can of cat food. Only $11. I can easily skip coffee for a few days to help this lady. I brought the bag back to her and showed her what I got. She was so grateful. She told me that she can now go warm up and leave the street corner. As I walked to my 09' Dodge truck she walked to her cold tent. I am thankful for what I have but broken with what she doesn't. As we parted she thanked me a number of times. I am glad that I turned my truck around. I am very blessed in life and I need to share my blessings.
