I was leaving the office to go and serve some papers on someone and about 500 yards down the road I see this man walking in a pair of hospital scrubs. He is staggering off the side of the road into traffic and is almost hit twice, so I turned on the lights on my unmarked and pulled up behind him. The man's clothing was soiled and so I asked him his name which was Raymond and he said he was going to the Motel 6 and that he lived on the streets. I asked him if he had a medical condition and he said he had been having seizures since he was 5, so I asked if he was feeling disoriented and he said he could not afford his medicine. I had an EMS unit called by a local officer who stopped to help, and the man began to cry I think he thought he was going to jail so I just sat and talked to him about where he was from and how he ended up all the way in South Texas, and explained to him we just wanted to help and he was not in trouble. It was a little chilly and so I gave him the only thing I had in my car which was a white undershirt to put on under his clothes. I told him about the good neighbor shelter where he could get some food and warmer clothes. And some may be asking why was that a blessing, and I was wondering that myself when it first came to me, well heres why I think it was. I took this job to take the guys off the street who break the law and now I think the Lord may have put me here to try to help those who are lost and assist those in need like this man, so on top of being an usher at my church I'm going to be in the Jail ministry and the Hospital visitation ministry also.
