I was listening to the radio earlier and I heard a story that made me tear up in the good way. Heartwarming story.  

I forget exactly where but somewhere in Canada recently a bus driver while on his regular route noticed a homeless man.  The first day he saw him, he noted he didn't have any shoes.  Bus driver continued on, saying a prayer for the man.  The next day, he spotted the same man still without shoes.  He threw on the emergency lights for the bus and got off the bus, rushing over to the man.  Asking why he was without shoes, the homeless man simply replied that he had lost his pair.  The bus driver then took off his own shoes, gave them to the man and got back on the bus.  His passengers were in awe, many of them had tears in their eyes. He continued on his route, like nothing had happened.

I have worked with the homeless before. I love doing it. At the college I went to, we hosted a shelter on our campus every January.  I was the food manager for two years. It feels good to help like that, and plus I think they have a bad stereotype around them.  Most of the people I met were some of the nicest people ever.  Also, now having worked for the bus company, I can say honestly this would never happen here.  Our bus drivers and passengers would never do this.  The bus driver would be harassed by passengers for delaying the bus, or the bus driver simply wouldn't have dared.  

Like I said, not certain where this was but I'm certain it was probably in a bigger city then mine.  The differences amaze me.  
Anyway, I just thought I would share this story with you guys :D
