For this installment of Gems from the Inbox I was looking for something either related to Father's Day or Independences Day but what I can across  was this story.  it really struck a chord with me in saying that we all need help even when we don't think we do. As a bonus I am including a song at the end of the story that I think tries into the story. Good day and God Bless.

Don’t We All

Authur Unknown

One evening I was parked in front of the mall
wiping off my car. I had just come from the car
wash and was waiting for my wife to get out of
work. Coming my way from across the parking
lot was what society would consider a bum.
From the looks of him, he had no car, no home,
no clean clothes, and no money. There are times
when you feel generous but there are other
times that you just don't want to be
bothered. This was one of the
"Don't want to be bothered" times.

"I hope he doesn't ask me for money," I thought. He didn't. He came
and sat on the curb in front of the bus stop and he didn't look like he
could have enough money to even ride the bus. After a few minutes he
spoke. "That's a very nice car," he said. He was ragged but had an
air of dignity around him.

I said, "Thanks," and continued wiping off my car.
