Early this week my
girl friends and I were having lunch at a well known bar-b-q place in
Corpus Christi. We live out of town and don't get in very often so were
looking forward to the time together and a meal out.
Two homeless men and
their old dog were in front asking people for money. One of the men came
in and nearly everyone was watching as he was asking the buffet
attendant for food. She tried to ignore him due to the rules that they
have.
An old well dressed
man got up and went to her. We couldn't hear what was going on but she
handed the old man a bag and he went outside sitting down on the curb
and started feeding the dog something. The attendant at this time handed
the homeless person two large sacks and he left to join his friend.
The restaurant had
been getting quieter and quieter as people started watching what was
going on. You could have heard a pin drop as the old man came back in
and took his seat. He sat there a few seconds looking at his lap then
started eating again.
All of us had tears in
our eyes and didn't know what to say to each other. We think everyone in
the place was really moved.
