You know that thing when you see someone cute and he smiles and your heart kind of goes like warm butter sliding down hot toast? Well that's what it's like when I see a store. Only it's better.
:
Random act of kindness by a stranger. (1)
Christian and I were on our way home, inside an NY subway, the 7 train line to be exact.
Three stops from our base station, a typical homeless man walks inside and does his typical speech- one that he probably mutters a hundred times in a span of a day, to ask for some change.
No one pays him any attention, given that the cart we were in was only halfway full. He prances around till he gets close to where we were. Seated in front of us was a Hispanic family: a Mom who looked deprived of a good night's sleep, 2 toddlers who were seated beside her and a baby, sleeping on her stroller, on her other side.
The man murmurs something to the mother and produces two quarters from his pocket. "
Ola, Mami! I have kids as well. I know how hard life is. We all need some help every once in a while.", he says while giving the said quarters to the kids.
After that, the train reaches its next stop and he jumps out with such vigor-- which is really quite unusual for someone who has not gotten what he wanted, and even shelled out some of what he was asking for, in the first place.

Thank you, Lord, for little miracles like this!
