Or is dh too cynical? Tonight I was getting dinner at Subway and this lady who appeared to be homeless came in and ordered a sandwich. When I went to pay, I asked her if I could pay for her meal as well and she was quick to say I didn't need to do that but I felt like I needed to for some reason. I felt that way from the moment she walked in. So I went ahead and paid for everything and she was very thankful.
When I came home, I told dh what I did and he gave me this look. I don't even know how to explain *the look*. I knew by his expression that it wasn't something he would have done even though he's a very generous person usually. He made the comment that a lot of *homeless* people (bc some do fake it) make more money than we do just by panhandling. If she was ordering a sandwich, obviously she had money. Well maybe she did tonight but who's to say she would have money tomorrow to eat?
I know I did the right thing whether she was homeless or not. It's all about doing unto others, right? Maybe she will pay it forward now.

I think that's great...Yes, there are those that fake it, but take that away from the equation...there is nothing wrong with an act of kindness...Just imagine if more people did a little something....
No matter what her situation was...you did a nice thing for someone.
In my experience...those strong feelings I get about something is always God speaking to me.
It's not like she asked you to buy her something, right? You did something nice for another person, and there's nothing wrong with that.
