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.
