I didn’t need his reaction

Walking into a shopping centre, I saw an elderly gentleman asleep on a bench. It was a very cold day and I just happened to look down at his nice leather shoes to notice he wasn’t wearing any socks.

I continued on my way thinking about this man when I saw a sign out the front of Target that said 25% off explorer socks. What are the chances of that! I went in and bought 5 pairs so I knew his feet would at least stay warm and toasty for 5 days.

I decided to write a note saying; “I hope you enjoy these socks to keep your feet warm. Just letting you know you are cared about.”

I walked up to this man and he was still asleep but I couldn’t put the bag next to him, I tried several times but I just couldn’t (have no idea why). I then walked out of the shopping centre got in my car and started to drive home, constantly thinking about this man’s cold feet and how they must feel walking in leather shoes with no socks ouch!

I turned the car around and went back to the shopping centre. The man was still asleep on the bench so I approached a security guard and said there is a man sleeping on the bench over there could you please give him this bag.

I then walked off to get in my car, out the corner of my eye I seen the security guard give the man the bag.

I didn’t wait around to see his expression as I had already got the warmth inside of me from doing my act of kindness and I didn’t need his reaction.

Many blessings. – Malinda xxxx 🙂
