I am almost sure that he was really sincere as he actually asked for job not free money.

Beside, I only want to donate for his mother's funeral. It's been more than 2 weeks now. :D<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thank you very much Rose. You have a nice week. :DKristyCKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280971534888489073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277075004049901937.post-46625470186036013062008-05-26T23:54:00.000-04:002008-05-26T23:54:00.000-04:00Hi James.

On that particular time, you just dont know what to do and say, not to mention on not helping him out.<BR/><BR/>Since he is your neighbour, maybe you can try to find where he stay and check on on him from time to time, see what you can do. Of course you bring along your hubby lah.

You first of all had to ensure your own safety and with all the crazy things you hear about these days, you can't be too careful. Unfortunately we face situations like this all too often. When I am faced with guilt like this, and it happens a lot in the city where there are many needy people, I make myself feel better by donating to another needy cause. It doesn't make you feel completely better, but it does remind you that you can make a difference for someone.<BR/><BR/>Peace.James (SeattleDad)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04087365610002249685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277075004049901937.post-28179471181184503002008-05-23T11:54:00.000-04:002008-05-23T11:54:00.000-04:00A prayer for that guy and anyone else in his situa...A prayer for that guy and anyone else in his situation would help a lot. I'm sure he was provided by God. Who knows down the road an old lady or somebody might have had a lot of works for him, or might have donated him enough money. It's hard to distinguish between impostors and sincere people nowadays but I think I'll try to be open. I probably would have done the same thing like what you'd done. I'm kinda slow to react to some things.Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05398508583909514580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277075004049901937.post-51361267794032567972008-05-22T14:19:00.000-04:002008-05-22T14:19:00.000-04:00Yabah Luthie, so sad, tambah lagi he was pretty po...Yabah Luthie, so sad, tambah lagi he was pretty polite, he left without even grumbling.

Duno if u ever encounter this or not but in Msia, sometimes during dinner time, 2 blind person will be walking ard asking for money. Some will just beg and others will sell tissues or trinklets. When this started, we will pity n buy from them. But after awhile, it become a trend and more and more people start to beg/sell stuff to people at foodcourt, restaurant,etc. So, heart harden and refuse to donate anymore. Some are of cos conmans but others sincerely need help. I guess what I am trying to say is, there is only so much we can do and learn from each guilt. I always believe that is why God gave a brain and also a heart to work hand in hand.<BR/><BR/>So dont worry billy's mom, when you encounter similar situation again, your heart will tell what to do ^_^JenJen's Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15713836200230638014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277075004049901937.post-48941927319883770022008-05-22T01:16:00.000-04:002008-05-22T01:16:00.000-04:00Agreed with shirley, what if he has got bad intent...Agreed with shirley, what if he has got bad intention..menyasal kau nanti..He is still young many chances for him to make a living kan?? anyway to divert your guilty feeling, I have got a TAG for you, please visit my blog for details and tag along :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277075004049901937.post-41179266220846288122008-05-21T22:17:00.000-04:002008-05-21T22:17:00.000-04:00feeling quilty is normal... a little prayer for hi...feeling quilty is normal... a little prayer for him will be good it will ease your burden. <BR/>But imagine if he had bad intention.. you wouldn't know what might happen..
