#21 buy a meal for a homeless person

i did it. it felt good. but i have to be honest that it just felt weird. there are so many opportunities to rise above begging for help on the street corner. there are programs, opportunities, groups, and agencies that are available so that we don't have to go hungry in this country. i'll be honest, my main excuse for not helping people is because i assume they want money for some type of substance abuse. people don't have to go to a street corner to beg for food.

but despite the undeniable doubt i hold in respect to these persons need for real help, i gave help because it was asked and i wanted to do it and experience it. i may hope that reaching out will change people's lives that may be in need, but if not them, i will have changed myself in the least.

so, for what it's worth, let's change the world one heart at a time. even if it only ends up our own.
