Just about 4pm yesterday, as I was heading to the junction close to a friend's place, a man I'd consider to be in his late 60s confronted me. I never wanted to stop, but because of the look of weakness and hopeless I saw on his face,I was forced to cease me from taking another step forward. Though I was at that time in a hurry and needed to catch up with the appointment I had already fixed with my friend, it was obvious at that point that my attention had already been captured.
As he walked down to me while I was still waiting for him to approach closer to introduce himself and say what he wants, he stretched his hands to plead and then this words came forth from his mouth..."please I have not eaten anything since morning, can you help me with any amount you have so I can get myself food to eat?" I immediately I glanced through his face, those words he said repeated on my head, and then I had no choice than to reach out to the front left-hand pocket of my Jean trousers. I had just three notes of different denomination. I brought out the first, the second and then third. My spirit at that time has already asked me to make sure I give him the highest denomination of money in my pocket. I gave him the money and then he showered me appreciations and prayers.
Without waisting any further time, I took my leave.....
While I was still walking to Minaru's house, I couldn't remove my mind off the encounter.
Who knows how many of that type of person are going through similar issues?
I believe God used me to at encourage him.
As little as what I gave to him is, he was so excited, and I could sense his countenance changed positively. I'm sure when he gets home, he'll remember.
For every act of kindness you show to someone, you stimulate their consciousness how people love them.....
Please, don't quit, stop or rent in helping, supporting, and showing some good levels of kindness to them.
Don't be the person that when people remember you, they feel pains and regrets. Be the ones that brings joy, happiness, and smiles.
