The homeless flower man.

======================

When walking in DC, you will run into the

occasional homeless person, who will ask for

any spare change.

Some people will respond, while others just

walk on by probably having seen more than

their share of panhandlers.

I, too, have seen my share. In fact, the area that I walk

to go to work, I see the same three or four consistently.

One day, however, I saw some frames lined up on

the sidewalk and inside of the frames were pressed flowers.

Nothing real special from the initial glance, but as I walked

further down, I saw a cardboard box cut-out sign. The sign

read:

God made these flowers and God gave me the hands to

press these flowers to sale. I am homeless and wanting

to make a change in my life.

It was an Inner Peace and Blessings moment.

Here you have a person with nothing more than the clothes

he is wearing. He had no house. No car. No family as far as

I was aware. Nothing.

Yet, he worked with what he had. His hands and some flowers

he found somewhere.

This was inspiring. So many of us complain about where we are

in our lives or how little we have, when in fact we truly are blessed

with more than meets our eyes and more than we really need.

I walked past the homeless flower man, but then I stopped. Why

shouldn’t I tell this guy that what he was doing was so great?

I turned around and walked up to him and started the conversation

by asking, “So how much are you selling these for, Sir?”
