It only takes one person to make a difference...

I was watching the local news earlier today and there was a really great story. I wish I could find the story online, but it was about a 2 minute feature segment so I doubt I will. Anyway, about 6 months to a year ago, a man went into a convenient store and attempted to rob it, but in the middle of the robbery he started sobbing about how he couldn't afford to feed his family and the shop owner took pity on him. The shop owner gave the man $40 and a loaf of bread and wished him luck.

Earlier this week, the shop owner received $50 in cash and a letter from the man thanking him for helping when he needed it most. The guy now has a good job and can feed his family and they're not losing their house, etc.

This is the first thing that's actually put me into the Christmas spirit this year. :)
