I was on a tight5having to pick my wife up from the doctor's office soon for a medical6. I was not going to buy7and return in such a short time. Then I8I had socks in my last bag, the bag I keep in my9for those in need. I grabbed the10and walked up to him.
“Hey, Brother,” I11to him. “I am sorry. I don't have any shoes for you, but could you12these socks？” He turned to me and13. “That would be great.” He said “God bless you” as I14him the socks. I wished him the best and got back into my car.

I called to the man, “I got these cars behind me. Are you good if I just19the bag on the sidewalk？” He nodded. “Take care,” I yelled. As he pulled on the last sock, the man20to me “I love you！”
