Today, I had a meeting at church and had a "sighting". There was a man sitting with his back resting on the back of the gas station building next to our parking lot. He was drinking from a soda can and seemed like one of the many homeless people in our downtown area.
I keep a container of graham crackers in my car for a snack. I took out the crackers and walked up to him. I asked, "Have you eaten today? I have these graham crackers if you would like them."
He looked at them and seemed confused. "What are these?"
"Graham crackers," I responded. "They are like a sweet cracker. They're good. You can have these." He took them. "Have a good day," I said and went into the church.
Note to self, remember to introduce yourself and ask his name. I'm shy about that. But it is so important! To recognize the humanity we have in common!
