Took her home, so I knew where she lived. Quoting: Eagle # 1 1259909 Went to supermaket next day, and bought the Turkey, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, etc. Then delivered same by leaving them outside her apartment door, knocked and went away. Thanksgiving is one VERY lonely time for singles with children and no immediate family to turn to. Ask one to your house this year. Eagle |

There are many single mothers out there who suffer from shortages of food, clothing, etc. A good deed doesn't always go 'unpunished' ! And, as Omar Kyam said in the Rubiad, " Be warned by my lot; which I know you will NOT." Besides, it makes you feel VERY warm inside, afterwards. Eagle |

Quoting: my2centsworth Kris, a city transit bus driver, saw a homeless man walking barefoot one day, the next day, it was cold and Kris saw the homeless man again walking on the sidewalk barefoot. Kris pulled his bus over, got out, and gave the homeless man the shoes off of his own feet, then walked back to the bus on sock feet, got into the drivers seat and continued his route. Never did Kris think another thing about his act of kindness, but one of his passengers told people about it and Kris’s act of kindness was soon on a local station and spread like wild fire.

Aww c'mon. Such a nice thread. Wish you guys wouldn't try to spoil it. It was a nice thing to do. Why question his method of doing it? If he'd given him money, the guy couldn't have chosen his own shoes anyway. They don't let you into a store without shoes. |

Not to mention an unadressed mental illness. Most homeless Americans from before the recession have mental illnesses. Part of what happened after de-institutionalization.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1259909 Too bad there are so few who practice their 'beleifs'. You can blame the churches which left God's word for songs and feel good verses. It's what is called apostolic christianity. If todays churches (most of them) actually preached the Word unapologetically they would lose their members, close up shop, and you wouldn't see all these 'Christians' ranting their 'beliefs' and then not following their own advice. Don't blame Jesus. |
