Tales from the gas station

There I was, pumping gas. A homeless man walks up to me, and asks if I have any spare change. I don't, so I informed him of this fact. "That's ok. god bless you." he says.

"Wait." I said. "Why did you say god bless you?"

The next part is absolute gold.

"Because god blesses everyone and everything. Plus it's the right thing to do."

So, I asked this dirty, smelly unshaven man how god has blessed him. He didn't have an answer. He just stared at me for a moment, and walked away completely taken aback by what happened.

Maybe I just changed someones life. Maybe he'll stop praying for a solution and go out and find one for himself. I honestly hope so.
