RE: What are YOU Grateful for TODAY? - #GratitudeTrain No. 39
#2. Today i met a man who was making a purchase for a new bed. A cheap bed but he's been making payments for about a month. I joked with him and said i can see you giving away money, you don't look happy about it. He then proceeded to tell me his story. His currently sleeping on the floor as his small shack had burnt down. He has a job as a security guard and get pays very little. But says it's better than being home and just watching the sun. He wasn't looking for a hand out at all. Just telling his story.
Sometimes we are quick to judge others but if we just listen to their story we can learn a lot . I'm humbled by meeting this guy and grateful for all the blessings in my life. Big and small.
It is wonderful that you gained some perspective from that experience. If we ALL took a little more heed in that respect - the world would be a much nicer place. Thank you for sharing that!
You very welcome. I'm a firm believer that lessons are being taught all around us, we just have to be open to learning from them.
That is so very true!
