問題詳情


(B)I was parked in front of the mall wiping off my car. I had just come from the car wash and was waiting for my wife to get out of work. Coming my way from across the parking lot was what society would consider a bum. From the looks of him, he had no car, no home, no clean clothes, and no money. There are times when you feel generous but there are other times that you just don't want to be bothered. This was one of those "don't want to be bothered times.""I hope he doesn't ask me for any money," I thought.He came and sat on the curb in front of the bus stop but he didn't look like he could have enough money to even ride the bus. After a few minutes he spoke."That's a very pretty car," he said.He was ragged but he had an air of dignity around him. His scraggly blond beard keep more than his face warm.I said, "thanks," and continued wiping off my car. He sat there quietly as I worked. The expected plea for money never came.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 asked.We often look for wisdom in great men and women. We expect it from those of higher learning and accomplishments, and I expected nothing but an outstretched grimy hand. But what he said in reply shook me."Don't we all?" he said.I was feeling high and mighty, successful and important, above a bum in the street, until those three words hit me like a twelve gauge shotgun.Don't we all?I needed help. Maybe not for bus fare or a place to sleep, but I needed help. I reached in my wallet and gave him not only enough for bus fare, but enough to get a warm meal and shelter for the day. Those three little words still ring true. No matter how much I have, no matter how much I have accomplished, I need help too. No matter how little he has, no matter how loaded he is with problems, even without money or a place to sleep, he can give. Maybe the man was just a homeless stranger wandering the streets. Maybe he was more than that.Maybe he was sent by a power that is great and wise, to minister to a soul too comfortable in themselves.Maybe God looked down, called an Angel, dressed him like a bum, and said tenderly, "go minister to that man cleaning the car. That man needs help."Don't we all?
