So, dudes, I met Kenneth, the homeless dude with the canine compadre, that's posted up on the corner by the Chili's, HEB and Lowes in Atascocita last week.....  I believe it was last Monday (to be exact), and the hubbs (he was off of work that day - he took a vaca day) and we had to run to the HEB-ster (HEB).....  I noticed the home-dude, Kenneth, just chillen in his usual spot, which I've passed him there countless time before, and for some reason, he just really stayed on my heart throughout the entire time we were in the HEB....  (And the home-chica @beadweaver  came to mind, with her handing out cold bottles of water to those less fortunate...)  So, as we passed him once again headin' back to our casa, I told the hubbs that God had put this dude on my heart  and that I was gonna get some drinks together and head back up....  And so I did....            Thinkin' that he prolly doesn't get much fresh fruit, I cleaned up a container of fresh Blueberries, fresh Strawberries, and some fresh Grapes...  Then I added a few packages of Peanut Butter Crackers, (4) cold bottles of Water and (2) cold bottles of Gatorade.....    I rolled the Tundra to the Chilis back parkin' lot, got out with my bag of goodies, and as I was approaching, a very young boy came up and handed Kenneth a single dollar, and said "God bless you," to which Kenneth replied the very same words back....  Then a lady and her son, who obviously knew Kenneth, came up and began talking to him, inquiring as to his doing, on-goings, etc etc, and that's actually how I know his name, as I heard the lady call him by it....  Anywho, I just walked up and sat the bag down by Kenneth, briefly mentioned him that there was some fresh fruit and drinks in there, and turned to walk off, when he said, "Ma'am....  God bless you.... "   .....The lady with the son thanked me as well, and I thanked her in return....Now, before I continue on, I must say that Kenneth's canine compadre, who was right there by his side, on a leash, was just absolutely SO well mannered, SO well behaved and just seemed so happy to be there with his friend....   And yes, he had a bowl of fresh water.....Now, to the most AMAZE-BALLS part, my friends....  It was the over-all most uplifting, most beautiful, most lovely, most righteous "high," per say, feeling the appreciation, the genuine gratitude, and honest humbleness in those few moments, and not just by Kenneth, but by all that had witnessed, myself very much included, and I truly felt the presence of God.....   It was just really just a blessed moment to see and be a part of.....  With all of the ugliness, evil, and wickedness taking place daily, it was just really just such an inspirational atmosphere of Love and Compassion, with people actin' as we should.....~ Glory to God in the highest and Peace to His people on Earth ~1 Corinthians 13:13 - And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these [is] charity.P.S. - "Presence Of The Lord" by Eric Clapton is a most righteous jam....

I know who you are talking about. He has a black and white dog with him. We always give him a bottle of water and some money. He is a very gracious man. I always talk to him about his dog. Anytime I ask if he needs dog food he says no, what I get I share with my dog. He's very nice. 4951

@herron1345:
Thank you. I'm sure he enjoyed those berries. Also I bet he shared those peanut butter crackers with his buddy.
I have a few buffalo cookies Hank picked out and only ate a few. I'll take them over. Maybe his would like them.
How's he doing on dog food etc?
I'll see about getting some things together for them. I'm purging and I'm sure I can find some rain clothes etc.
Again you are a blessing.

@friday1....I appreciate the compliment, my friend, and in all honesty, dude, I am truly most blessed....         I really am....  But man, dude, the vibes that was kicken' during that brief encounter was just so beautiful and so strong that it still has me feelin' the affects....  That was true righteousness, and for God to allow me to participate in such Love just leaves me even that much more blessed....

I have given him money as well....must admit the dog drew me in.  First time was when it was bitterly cold and he assured me he had warm blankets etc.  A few weeks ago I saw a woman interviewing him - had a note pad - wondered if she was with an agency?  Hoped it would bring him more help.@herron1345:  If only ---IF ONLY more people had your sweet spirit."What a beautiful world it would be." 4951

Oh, and by the way, my friends, Kenneth has stopped (and aided in the apprehension) of several robberies, car thefts and burglaries right there at Lowes and at HEB, since postin' up there some time ago....  So, I don't mind helpin' out someone who's a vigilant citizen lookin' out for the good folks of the community....
