'My Daddy is an amazing and generous man, we drove by a Mexican Family husband, wife, and three small children wrapped in blankets with a few meager possessions sitting under the over pass by a busy Dallas intersection. The man held a sign that said " lost my job, can't find work, homeless, please help." While most would chalk this up to panhandling and pass on by thinking it was a scam or possibly even believing it was real but just not wanting to take the time to roll down the window search for cash etc...Not my Dad, he circled back around the busy freeway to pull back through so he could pull out of the way of all the impatient "CHRISTmas Shoppers" honking horns and being self absorbed, so he could give that poor family every bit of cash he had in his pocket. The amount was $70.00 ,the mans eyes opened wide and he began to speak a language that was foreign but the tears in his eyes, gratitude and expression on his face spoke a universal language. My Dad wiped away tears as he drove away and said whats the point of having it if you can't help people like that. My heart swells with pride to be his daughter! The true meaning of Christmas was exemplified in that act of kindness."
Pay it forward people.
Yeah, I am blessed to have these people as my parents and my family.
