The Lord sets me up with all my appointments. So I road 150 miles and my gas light went on and I pull off this exit. I had not ate since my pop tart last night. As I am walking in Mcdonald’s there is Rocky walking in with a plastic cup. I asked, are you having lunch sir? Rocky says, no sir I am just getting some water I will get to eat tomorrow I just got out of the hospital and walked here. I look down and Rocky has a Hospital band on his wrist.
I said , well Rocky I was sent here to have lunch with you today. He looked at me so amazed, and says , I can’t , I have no money. I laughed and Said , I am here to take care of it!
Rocky looks around at everyone and says, This man is buying me Lunch at that top of his lungs! Seriously it was a awesome moment and everyone was smiling.
I ask myself , if I don’t ask or acknowledge Rocky would have he left that McDonald’s with just water and hunger pains. How do so many people ignore the “Rocky’s of the world”.
Rocky’s genuine scream for joy and thanks was so deep and spontaneously grateful and real.
We have so many “Special Needs” homeless out there on the streets. They are the most loving of us all of us and we let them go hungry right here in America the richest country in the world.
Rocky made my week.. I hope he makes yours..
