Tonight while waiting for the train, a stranger approached me to find out which train to catch to get to his destination. At first I did not understand what he was saying because English was not his first language, but when I finally grasped where he was planning to go, I told him which train to catch. He then asked me if he could buy tickets on the train, which I told him no and pointed to the ticket machine. He looked confused, pulled out a $10 and asked me to help him with change for the machine. SO instead of ignoring him, I walked him to the machine, thinking to myself "what if this man robs me!" I told him I didn't have change for a $10, and asked him if he had coins for the machine. I noticed that he was just one dollar short of the $2.50 to pay for his ticket.... one of those "life lessons" flashed across my mind... "Share your abundance with others," so I gave the man a dollar so he could buy the ticket. He was very grateful and I walked away. Two minutes later he came up to me, thanked me and gave me a US dollar bill. I told him he didn't have to, but insisted.
I know this story sounds kind of cheesy, but it made me think, that if you give a little of your self to those who need it, then you will be rewarded with something extra....
My little life lesson and work out for my soul...
