Today the Branches went and fed some people who were hungry. They were easy to find. Right there in the open. We had a barbecue. Everyone loves barbecue.
You know what else people love?
Someone to talk to.
Someone who will pat them on the back, give them a hug, or shake their hand.
Someone to joke with.
Someone who will hand them an ice cold Coke.
I talked to several at the park today. One of the coolest conversations I had was with a man who picked up a Pepsi, instead of a Coke (When a Coke was readily available.).
Me: "What are you doing?!?"
Him: "Just grabbing a Pepsi!"
Me: "Why?!? There's a Coke right there!"
Him: Smiling, "You can't tell the difference when you pour them in a glass!"
Me: "Yes you can! But they aren't in a glass anyway, they're in a can, one says Coke, one says Pepsi!"
I proceeded to tell him that the next time we come out, which will be soon, we will have a taste test for everyone. Whichever drink they choose in the blind taste test is the drink they will receive, even me. We'll just see if I can tell the difference between Coke and Pepsi in a glass.
Me and this man had a good time today just mixing it up with our pretend argument. We both laughed and smiled. He was fed, and unfortunately, he drank a Pepsi. But I also think he felt loved today. I know I felt loved today.
