Some of the things I do for this project are planned well in advance. Some are thrown together at the last minute. Some are spontaneous. Some are just about an opportunity that arises in the moment. Sometimes that means more than one thing happens in a given day.
Today was one of those days. Tonight we fed a blind man and his companion. They were asking for money on the corner in a retail area. We invited them come to our house, and they accepted. We talked to them about their lives and their struggles, and then they joined us for dinner -- pasta and meatballs and salad. It's always nice to have a table overflowing with people.
We also gave them a little cash, some leftovers, and a bunch of extra breakfast bars to take with them.
