I always try to help people that are holding up a sign, because I never know if one day that could be me.
When I'm going into the donut shop if someone is outside asking for a donut I always try to buy it for them. I never turned anyone away for food.
Many years ago and I mean many like back in the 90s I took a homeless lady into my house she was coming from Florida I was a waitress in the French Quarter at Jimmy's Cafe, and she had on many layers of clothes. She needed a place to stay so I told her if she came back when I got off work she could come to my pad and crash. I told her she can stay the night and the next day we would find somewhere for her to go. I wound up letting her stay for 3 months at my residence her name is J.G.( cannot give her real name out) and I will never forget that lady. She knew the Bible like the back of her hand, and she said she used to be a union stripper whatever that meant LOL
She wound up getting government assistance and having it sent to my house. She stayed for 3 months she was not a bad roommate I gave her my bed I took her to my church and got her some new clothes, and I took her to the laundromat and the beauty shop to get her hair cut. If I had to do it all over again I would not hesitate in a minute to give up my residence to help someone in need.
Now fast forward to lately. During the Christmas holiday I gave a basket to someone in need to feed the family.
Yesterday I had a lady who I talk to over a year ago who is also a massage therapist on BP she called me up and was asking me all about the new rules and regulations and she talked my ear off for an hour and a half and I listened. I know it was a long time to be on the phone but I was her Lifeline so to speak she was having a rough go of it she was Middle Eastern.
As of this morning, I got up with a positive attitude to try and make something happen today and at least help one person along the way.
God bless,
