Yes, some of them may buy cigarettes and beer, because they’re addicted just like I am to Diet Pepsi and chocolate candy! So what? That doesn’t mean they’re not hungry or don’t need help. We all have some kind of “addiction” that we spend money on that could better be spent somewhere else. When I see people in need I respond if I have anything to give. It hasn’t broke me yet and it won’t break you either. You would be surprised by the compassion and kindness that many of those “drunks” have–more than most of use, because we don’t know what it feels like to be in their shoes. Of course, we think we would never “allow” ourselves to be in their shoes…but there are many different reasons/ways that a person becomes homeless. If we want God and other people to have mercy on us, we must first be merciful ourselves. Thanks for your example Brantley.

To God Be The Glory, To God Be The Praise! Thank you Lord for people like Mr. Brantley and may you continue to bless him as well as Mr. Steve. I also pray for continued guidance in both of their lives. Lord grant me favor to be able to not judge so quickly and give what I can when I can (even if I can’t physically, financially). Allow your spirit to move through me to be able to bless others in some way. I thank you for showing me everyday that you are real and I know you are the only way (truth and light). Bless your Holy name. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

“THERE ..BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD GO I!
I am not a perfect person, none of are! I drive a motor coach between Omaha
and Denver or Chicago., Burlington Trailways.. I often buy 4-5 dollar menu hamburgers for indigent passengers. It is a rarity for someone to show that they care. They are not used to it and one can see the look of suspicion in their face. In a country where food is plentiful and restaurants and grocery stores throw away good food it is a shame and disgrace! In Omaha, Chicago , Denver and elsewhere, there are far too many for want of a good meal. THANK YOU JOHN FOR CARING. THIS WORLD NEEDS MORE LIKE YOU!!!

As hard as things are for Steve in his personal life, he still humbled himself in prayer asking God for a blessing and his prayer was answered, just like the afternoon at NHS when many joined together in prayer asking God for a miracle for the Coach’s life. Prayer does work!

I truly believe that sharing personal stories like this with one another is a blessing in itself. We need each other and God now more than ever.The days we are living in are filled with such turmoil, despair and anger that the Lord wants to remind us, he’s still with us and hasn’t left so don’t give up. God bless you Mr. Brantley.

I would much rather give to a homeless person or someone that I don’t know than one of my relatives, I don’t know their story, but a lot of the times, we do know what others have & we don’t yet others tend to want you to give to them.

Matthew 25:40New International Version (NIV)

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

This story reminds me of this verse.

Way coo!! Best stories I’ve read in a while. With so many scammers out there bumming it’s hard to know if it is indeed someone who ACTUALLY needs help.
Hey Ray J., Brother, I think you are on to something. I’d write about my experiences I’ve had around the world that I believe you are referring to but society would deem me “delusional”. With all the clutter and busy-ness in our lives it’s hard (for me at least) “to be still and know that I AM”. John Brantley…Good on ya!!

We have bought McDonalds gift cards for people also. It is better than handing them fast food out the car window – we never know how many other people had the same idea at the same time. One can only eat so much at once. By having the gift card, even if they sell it or trade it, sooner or later someone will benefit by getting food. We have purchased cheese crackers or snack cakes also. At least they’re lightweight and won’t spoil. I hope they find Steve again. You just never know what someone’s story is. It is not our job to judge.

This is proof to our entire community: how God operates. He is in the miracle business, and once you start living for him, the blessing pour.
