Here's a quick reminder to all of you when you get stuck in a moment --- that, somewhere out there, someone always comes along with a pocket full of hope.
Today I spent all my coins and dollar bills on little deeds. I had skipped breakfast because the clock was ticking away too quickly. On top of the mad rush, I forgot my lunch. I was going to buy my lunch along the way, but a person in need asked me if I could spare them some cash, so I decided that moment, to put them first.
So, then later, that evening, I was heading home anxiously awaiting dinner, when I got a call from my Mom saying that she was stuck working the late night shift and wouldn't be able to make it to the market to pick up groceries. Even though there was no food in the house, I took a step back for a second, and I told my Mom not to worry as I would surely find myself something on which to munch. :)
While I was still processing this sudden set of changes in my food options for the day, I passed a young man with a broad smile handing out crunchy samples of crackers at a supermarket stand. He gave me a packet and then did a double take saying, "How about you take some more for school tomorrow?" In response to that, I opened up my heart by returning a warm smile to him and also opened up my plastic carry on bag as he gladly filled it with 20 little crunchy packets. I was thrilled.
Whether you call it luck, fate, serendipity or the stroke of the universe, I just wanted to say that somewhere out there somebody came along carrying a glimpse of hope in his heart and shared a piece of it with me! Somebody out there will one day do the same for you!
