Today as I was waiting in line at the food court, a homeless person approached me and in a very unassertive manner asked me..."if I could help him out." I asked specifically what he needed. The conversation went something like this:
Kevin: What do you need?
Homeless Person: (pauses...) I would like a sandwich.
Kevin: (Eying the McDonalds on the other side of the food court) How about a Big Mac?
HP: Well, (stammers...) could I have a milk shake instead?
Kevin: Sure, anything you want, just name it.
HP: How about a large vanilla milk shake?
Kevin: Is that it? You do look pretty hungry.
HP: Could I have a large milk shake and a Big Mac?
Kevin: Sure, let's go get it for you.
We then went over to McDonalds and I purchased what we had agreed. I've never seen a more thankful person.

Kevin, Thanks for sharing that story. It reminded me that happiness comes, not from things you do for yourself, but from the help you give others.
