Erin’s Story: Better to give than to receive.

I was driving past a park close to downtown and saw a long line forming.  After further investigation I found out the line was for the bus to take the homeless to the shelter due to the weather.  The first people in line were a couple with two small children.  I walked up and said hello – they were a bit guarded.  I handed them the envelope, smiled, and turned to walk away.  I didn’t stick around to see their reaction, but when I got back to my car and looked over, both adults were smiling.  Angels on the Street made a difference not only to that couple but to me as well.  It is better to give than to receive.
