Five Dollars from a Homeless Man

Description

For Katie Ellen Winthrop, it was just a routine Sunday morning jog. Her life was falling apart. She was miserable and despite her desperate pleas to God for a miracle, it seemed as though there was no answer to the cries of her heart. However, her life changed one Sunday morning when she sat next to a homeless man in rags on the park bench. Was he really homeless? She didn’t know. There was something so special about this man in rags, his voice, the light in his eyes and the comfort he seemed to bring to her life and her world. Did she really believe in miracles? How in the world would five dollars from a homeless man change her life? There were hidden lessons inside a simply folded five-dollar bill and in the presence of a special man clothed in rags on that first Sunday morning, sitting there, on the park bench–waiting for her. Katie Ellen’s life was about to change in an unexplainable way and she would never, ever look at a five-dollar bill the same way again. How could she? The man on the park bench and a simple five-dollar bill changed her life forever.
