The other day, my wife and I went to drop off some clothes to donate. It was at about 10pm and it was freezing out. I went to drop a bag in the bin when a man in his mid- 20's asked me if he could please look through the bag before I threw it in because he and his friend were living on the streets and they were cold. As we drove away, I saw him hold up a sweatshirt that I never even wore because it just "wasn't me". He had this huge smile on his face like he just opened a Christmas present. Of course, living in the city I encounter homeless people all the time. This was just another reminder to me not to take anything for granted, to be grateful for what I have. It was also a reminder that when we give, however small it does make a difference.
