1. One evening I was leaning on the bonnet of
BMW car parked in front of a fast food joint.
I had just come out of the joint, I had gone
to have eat with my friends and I was
waiting for them to come out of joint so that
we could go back to home. On impulse I
turned to look over my shoulder,coming my
way from across the parking lot was what
society and I would consider a bum.

2. From the looks of him, the obvious was stated; he had no car, no
home, no clean clothes, and no money There are times in a day
when you feel generous but there are other times when you just
don't want to be bothered This was one of the "Don't want to be
bothered" time for me "I hope he doesn't ask me for money," I
whispered to myself And He didn't He came and sat on the curb in
front of the parking garage, I looked at him closely, and from his
appearance he didn't look like someone who had money to even
afford a bus ride to God knows where he had come from He kept
starring at the car, his eyes moving to and fro

3. After a few minutes he finally spoke "That's a very nice car," he said
Although he was ragged, he had an air of dignity woven around him
And this revelation startled me I said, "Thanks," and continued
looking through the door anxiously waiting for my friends to come out
so that I could be rid of him He sat there quietly as if reading my
thoughts and waiting for me to ask him to go away, yet I remained
silent, waiting for the usually plea for money to come The expected
plea never came

4. As the silence between us widened something inside said, 'ask him if
he needs any help ' I was sure that he would say yes, but I held true
to the inner voice "Do you need any help?" I eventually asked him
He answered me in three simple but profound words that I shall
never forget Most times, we often look for wisdom in great men and
women We expect it often from those of higher learning and
accomplishments Today I was thought a lesson

5. I expected nothing but an outstretched grimy hand, but it never
came Rather he spoke three words that shook my body from my
head to my toes "Don't we all?" he said He inhaled deeply and
continued "I need help Maybe not for a bus fare or a place to sleep,
but I need help I reached into my wallet and gave him money not
only enough for a bus fare but enough to get a warm meal and
shelter for the day

6. Those three little words I stored somewhere deep inside my head
and today those words still ring true Living a fulfilled is not all about
how much you have or how much you have accomplished Because
no matter how much you have, no matter how much you have
accomplished, you need help too And also no matter how little you
have, no matter how loaded you are with problems, even without
money or a place to sleep, you can give help Even if it's just a
compliment, you can give that You never know when you may see
someone that appears to have it all They may just be waiting on you
to give them what they don't have

7. A different perspective on life, a glimpse at something beautiful, a
revelation of something wonderful, a respite from certain daily chaos,
that only you through a torn world can see Maybe the man that stood
beside me for that moment was just a homeless stranger wandering
down the streets Maybehe was more than that Maybe he was sent
by a power that is greatest and parking games wisestto minister to a
soul that has been or is too comfortable in itself to notice other souls
Maybe God looked down, called an Angel, dressed him like a bum,
then said, "Go minister to that man leaning on that car, for that man
needs help ""Don't We All?"
