Not A Person To Help, But A Person To Love

By Darrin N Tory Hand • August 18, 2016

Today on the streets of DOWNTOWN OKC, I passed a man simply asking for change as he held out an empty shoe polish canister. I had none, so I passed him and went on my way. On my return trip to the office, I found him and this woman sitting together. She did not give him change, she did not drop off a hot meal.....she sat down, cut her chicken wrap in half, and shared it with him. She did not leave, she sat and talked and asked genuine questions that many of us would ask while out to lunch with a friend. She did not treat him like a person to help, but a person to love.....so whoever you are lady, you get it.
