Wow, Barbara, what a wonderful story. I had
something similar to that happen last spring.
I was on my way to Cracker Barrel to pick up
a phone in order. I parked my car and got out
and just then another car drove behind my car
and stopped, blocking my car in. The driver
was a man, and in the passenger seat was
a woman, with 2 kids in the back seat. It was
a blazing hot day (surprise! surprise! in Tx :)).
The woman said they were going to a shelter,
but couldn't go until that night and her kids were
hungry. She asked for money for food. I thought
a minute, and then told her that if they would
come inside, I would pay for a meal for all of them.
They said alright and I walked passed their car,
thinking they would park and come in. Then I
looked and saw them drive away, out the exit.
In that case they didn't want money for food,
but for something else. I felt so bad for the kids
having to go along with what the parents were doing,
but I know I did the right thing to offer to feed them.
Have a Great Day!
