To be honest, I don't come across homeless people very often. I've literally never seen a homeless person in Sugar Land, so there aren't any homeless people in the place I spend most of my time. However, whenever I see a homeless person I always want to help them, I really want to help homeless people and really want to care for them. I have helped homeless people by giving them money and actually last Sunday I helped a homeless man. We gave him two boxes of granola bars, a bag of a variety of chips, toothpaste, a toothbrush, and a gallon of water. He was the sweetest man. He didn't have a sign or anything which showed that he wasn't asking for a handout. He was reading the Purpose Driven Life, which I thought was soo cool. He was just trusting in God to provide for him and he had gotten out of the hospital two days earlier and was homeless and had no money. He was sooo unbelievably thankful and when we drove away he was on his knees with his hands outstretched crying and praying. It was the coolest thing I've ever experienced. Not going to lie we all started tearing up or crying. But I really want to help homeless people and I can't wait till I start driving so I can do this for people all the time. I think a good combination of things to have would be a blanket, water, crackers or granola bars, a little new testament Bible, toothbrush and toothpaste, undershirts, and just little things like that. I also think it would be good to have a little sheet with a list of mens and womens shelters with adresses or maps to them or something :)
