Day 7 of "A quarter of love"

Today, I woke up excited because I knew I would be watching the 1040 later on in the evening. After going to work out with Aaron in the morning and then waiting at church finally it was about 3:30 and it was time for us to head for UCLA and the 1040 screening. We were on our way to the 1040 listening the TNB and talking about things we had expected in the trailer when I realized i had missed my exit on the freeway.

So I followed my gps which lead me into the right direction however some how I continuously drove too far past a street which would make me have to reroute and take another route. After that happening about 3 times finally we were about to be back in the right direction, except we were waiting at a turn signal. We happened to look to our left and there was a middle aged man named Charles with a sign. His sign read: Hi my name is Charles, any help you could provide would be appreciated thanks. Aaron began to talk about how veterans came back from the war to nothing. I looked into my wallet and pulled out a $5 and once I looked to the man he looked back at me with a smile and a stuck the money out the window.

He walked over very thankfully and took the money and began to joke around with us. He asked us if we were going to go pick up some girls which was funny because my car was full. Anyways I was thankful he asked that because when I handed him the money I wanted to talk to him about Jesus even though we only had a limited time at the light. I replied that we weren't going to get girls but instead we were going to a christain concert at UCLA. He was very surprised by this, and his smile grew wider. He told me they should have more christain concerts and that he was happy for us. The light turned green we traded smiles once again and I told him to have a blessed day.

I left happily not just because I gave a man money who needed it. Instead that I was able to share a conversation with him no matter if it wasn't for very long seeing the joy in his eyes from giving and even more from mentioning Jesus was rewarding. Something God spoke to me before today was to not just give but to speak about him to people so they will know he is on our minds and in our hearts.
