Today I was rushing home walking through Time Square when I had to stop for traffic. There was a homeless women sitting under the sign with her head down. I slipped $50 bill into the hat she was using to collect any donations. I turn back and waited for the light to change.
That's when someone tapped me on the back. I turned and it was the woman, standing there with tears in her eyes. She reached out hug me and told me she could buy her medicine. Her emotions were so powerful and I hugged her back as I shed a couple tears, too.
I grappled with sharing this story because its not why I helped her. But the thing is she helped me so much more. Her joy and appreciation only makes me want to help more people- especially helpless strangers. So, I'm sharing the story to remind everyone to count your blessings.
And know the greatest blessing are being able to help others.
