Coincidence and the kindness of strangers

[Godscreated]

I'm glad your families needs were met, tell your mom that GC believes the same thing. I haven't heard about your dad in a while I was gone from the forum for a few months hope he is doing well.

I'm kinda mad at him the moment. (His health is quite well. He's well enough to be in big trouble with the women in the house)

I'm not going to ask why nor do I want to know, what I do know (from experience) is that's not a good thing. Very glad to hear he is doing well, from your post when he wasn't well I know you love him so don't be mad to long.

I don't suppose anyone bothered to query them about their religious leanings? LOL. I bet we would have gotten a few surprises.

I used to work at a gas station at night and when it came time to throw out the day-old donuts, I would always give them to the homeless people that hung around the area. When my boss said to stop doing that, I would put them in a paper bag and lower it gently into the trash can and one of them would grin and nod knowingly and scoop it up out of the trash, still protected by that bag, and without any liability on my employer because he's not liable if people dumpster-dive for food as opposed to me handing them stale and 'potentially dangerous' food. Generosity doesn't come from religion, and in most of these cases, it sounds like a matter of pure practicality. I hate wasting food and if I can give it to someone who wants or needs it, I'm damn well going to give it to them even if it means going behind someone's back who disagrees with the sentiment for reasons of greed and cynicism.

I think that was an admirable thing you did. As for Christianity, I've seen plenty of generosity come from Christians because they are Christians. I've also witnessed non believers being quite generous.
