So I have been working at the AAC for a little over a year now to earn money to help pay off my sisters soccer. It has actually been rather fun. Never thought I would actually say that but it has. So Saturday was a really long day I had to be at work at 10am. Well everything was going great until I drove to the wrong parking garage. Apparently since the last time that I had work, they had changed where to park and I had no idea where it was. So I call the manager Valerie frantically… She gives me directions and everything is all better. We work our like 13 hour day working the Stars and Mavs game. While before we started cleaning up the cook asked everyone if they wanted any before she threw it away. Well I don’t like to throw things away so I said sure I’ll take something home. (Planning on giving it to my dad, he will eat everything.) So we head out to the parking garage and pass a number on people asking for money on the way nothing new. But then there was this gentleman that came up to me with tears in his eyes and so sincere and said I am sorry but can I have your sandwich. Of course without even thinking I said yes. I was sure why I was
taking it home anyways other then to not waste the food. The group that I was walking with was rather surprised. They were shocked at how quickly I handed him the sandwich with out even thinking twice, and they asked why? I simply said, “I know I will get another meal, who knows when he will.” Needless to say the Lord confirmed to me why I have the heart I do and the love for people. The Lord put my path to cross that gentleman’s Saturday night for a reason, and I am thankful. When people ask for money you know they are trying to hide something, but when they come to ask you for food. They honestly just need your help. Thanks to my mom for showing me that a long time ago.
