Small Change Can Make A Big Change
--posted by Nesquick86 on Dec 18,2010
I was in the line at Dunkin Donuts.The couple in front of me had ordered their food and stepped to the side.I proceeded to order mine.Quick and simple.Then I noticed a young man.I could tell was not having the best of luck and it showed on his face.
He walked in carrying his belongings in a torn plastic bag.The couple ahead of me turned,looked,then turned away.The lady grabbed her purse tighter and her husband quickly stood in front of her.
I moved over so he could order.He looked at the board,checked his pockets and didn't seem to have enough for anything.So,he turned around and walked out.
I picked up my coffee and followed him out.He had gone maybe five paces when I shouted,Hey!Do you want a donut?
A little embarrassed,he said,I dont have any money. I told him to come on back in.As we approached the counter the couple who were still inside looked shocked and confused.We approached the cashier and I said,What kind do you want? He whispered,Jelly.
I said,Go ahead.Tell her what you want.
Jelly donut please, he said.
The cashier looked at me and said,Is that it? I looked at him.Do you want anything else? Can I have a coffee? he asked me.I said,Yes.Tell her.
He did.The total came to $2.30,which is small change compared to what the typical person spends in a day.But to him it made a great difference.
I walked out and the couple were outside talking.The lady whispered to me,I am glad you did that - before he tried to rob the place for a donut.
I stopped,looked at her,and said,Are you a Christian? She said,Of course! I said,Are you sure?Because aren't Christians supposed to love their brothers and sisters,and help them when they need it,and not judge?
She didnt have a response.
Being able to help the young man truly made my day.And I hope that perhaps it helped change the attitudes of the people watching,which would be a good thing too.参考资料：http://www.helpothers.org/story.php?sid=23807
