>
>
>As I turned around I smelled a horrible "dirty body" smell, and there
>standing behind me were two poor homeless men.

>He just wanted to be warm).
>
>Then I really felt it - the compulsion was so great I almost reached out and
>embraced the little man with the blue eyes.
>
>That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my
>every action.
>
>I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more
>breakfast meals on a separate tray.

>I then walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a
>resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed
>gentleman's cold hand.
>
>He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Thank>you."
>
>I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, "I did not do
>this for you. God is here working through me to give you hope."
>
>I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son.
>When I sat down my husband smiled at me and said, "That is why God gave you
>to me, Honey, to give me hope."
>
>We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that only because of
>the Grace that we had been given were we able to give.
