I'd noticed the homeless Lady standing there Before, But I'd never stopped. I had planned to put Together a ziplock bag with Helpful items, But I hadn't yet Followed through. This time the thin, Worn woman was sitting Down at her corner Spot, and it was Hot. I felt God telling me To act. So I hurried home and Threw a bag together: A protein bar, Two water bottles, A large print Bible, A $5.00 bill. But when I drove back, She had vanished. In such a short time she Was gone. "What was that about, Lord? Did I misunderstand Your plan?" "No," He seemed to tell me. "It was just a trial run. You showed you cared, And the next time you will Be prepared." (Now I have a care bag ready and waiting in the car.) |
