I have a couple friends who do the coolest thing.
They both keep a few gift cards on hand, to give to someone when they see a need.
Fast food restaurant cards to those who are obviously hungry, short on cash. You and I have all seen them with signs asking for help. Most people look away, or do not know how to respond. They are ready to reach out.
Coffee cards to someone downtown when the weather is blustery and they see someone who is cold.
To me, these are so much more than a cup of coffee or a meal. They are telling total strangers that they matter. That someone cares. That they are seen.
They are also showing the depth of their hearts and their love for people. I admire them both for taking action to brighten lives.
