Last Sunday....

It was all the little things that made me open my heart

-----------

As I was at the crosswalk waiting for the lights to turn.. I stumbled upon a homeless man sitting there and he mentioned something in French - I wish I could understand but unfortunately I couldn’t. I assumed that he had wanted some spare change.

My assumption could have been correct but when I had mentioned to him that I couldn’t understand what he was trying to say.. I apologized because I didn’t have any change to give him.

He looked at me and said “your smile is so beautiful and thank you, that was enough. Have a great day” 

I couldn’t help but smiled and I handed him my extra water bottle.

Kind Sir,

Thank you for making my day so bright - Your kindness lifts me up and gives me a reminder to always be kind to others. There was no expectation for anything in return but maybe the exchange between the two was what we both needed.
