So yesterday, I'm walking across downtown Minneapolis, as I am wont to do, going from where one bus drops me off to where another bus picks me up. It's about 3 blocks. While I'm walking I see a woman with a big backpack on and carrying 2 grocery bags. See approaches a pickup truck that has stopped at a red light. At first I assume that she is being picked up by someone that she knew. Instead of opening the door, she knocks on the window and waves. The driver rolled the window down a inch or two and the woman asked for a ride just a couple of blocks because her bags were so heavy. I couldn't hear the drivers response, but I assume it was negative as this woman threw her arms up and said "Well, #%&% you, then". I felt sorry for this woman and felt that she needed someone to show that they cared. And since she was walking the same way I was, and only had a couple of blocks, I asked her if she'd like some help carrying her bags. She said "#%&% yeah". So we walked for a about three blocks (a block past my bus stop, but that's OK). The bags were full of groceries that she had gotten at a local food shelf. She told me her name and I told her mine. She asked me what I do. I told her that I was an IT sales engineer, which meant I went out with sales people and designed solutions for customers. Her response was that that must earn me a pretty penny. She then asked me if I was married. I told her that I was and that I had three children, all boys. She commented that I must be a good father. I dropped her groceries off at the front step of a low-rent downtown hotel and said good bye. I hope that I blesses this woman and made her life at least a little easier. As I was walking back to my bus stop, about a block away, I saw my bus pulling away. I thought, it doesn't matter, God will provide. Sure enough, by the time I had walked that block and reached my stop, another bus going to the same place was right there. I didn't have to wait at all. Wow, God is good. (And I mean that both ways; He is exceedingly competent and exceedingly righteous.)
