She was driving in her car on her way to a family gathering while listening to track number 9. No radio freakquennnnnncz up in here. As She is coasting down the road she notices an elder with a sign that says, "homeless, unemployed, wife and 3 children." As the tears in her eyez began to well up she fought them back like a soldier on the front line. As the elder approached the car she didn't even second guess what she was about to do. She reached deep into her purse and without question to the elder she provided him with some money. "You be careful out here on the highway brother," she said. "I will sister and thank you so much I appreciate it." As she pulled away from the elder she notices in her rear view that the cars behind her were all doing the same thing, giving the elder some money. The smile on her face could light a Nation and the warmth she felt in her heart could comfort all the children in the world. As she drove out of the elders sight, the thought of him and the others remained in her mind. Just think that elder on the side of the road with the raggedy clothes and huge ass sign could have been her or anyone in her family or any of her friends. The thought of someone not having a meal everyday, not being able to provide for his or her family, not being able to put food on the table for the children is utterly ridiculous. Some may say that she shouldn't have given him a dime cuz that's only enabling him to get off his ass and take care of himself. The thought never crossed her mind. All she saw was a God on the side of the road needing assistance. She saw herself in him and at that very moment she knew how he must have felt. At the end of the day her spirit will rest easy and her blessings will be enumerable.
Peace n Light
