He blessed me first

Tonight our House Church prepared and passed out packages of gloves, hats, and scarves to homeless people near "Jesus Saves" in Denver.   I asked  coworker and friend, who used to be homeless, for tips and he just said, "tell them 'God bless you.' "  I thought that was simple enough, but when we got there to the line of people waiting for cots and gave out our first present the man we handed the package to said "God bless you" and I was immediately struck by his kindness and his faith.  I love that!  I love when I go out thinking I have something to offer I often find that the poor themselves have so much to offer me.  His name was Victor.  He had long, dark hair, a humble gaze and a short but sweet smile.  Thank you God for using Victor to bless me.  Be near Victor tonight and remind him of your love for him, Lord.
