A good heart is worth Its wellness in deeds

A homeless man stood on the street and begged for money. Everybody walked by him even though they all had money. A poor man who had nothing but a 5 dollar bill to his name left out to go buy his only meal of the day. He saw the homeless man sitting there and he was touched to give him all he had. The man turned around and went home thinking himself foolish and now he would starve.The homeless man who had received the five got up and began to walk. He walked to an alley where no once could see him. In that instant he stripped himself and revealed he had wings and shone bright as a star. He flew up into the sky with the mans 5 dollars. He presented it at heavens gate and said ive done what you ordered. Instantly that 5 was taken and multiplied a million times at heavens doors. As the man slept a voice came to him and spoke a series of numbers. He woke up hungry and upset ignoring his dream because his stomach was empty  He headed out in the street with plans to rob and steal because he was in need. However he could not bring himself to steal. As he came back home he walked by the spot he seen the homeless man sitting the day before and thought to himself what a foolish thing i did. "The homeless man i helped yesterday is gone and probably full while i sit here and starve". However his attention was drawn to a dollar he noticed laying in the spot the homeless man had been begging. He picked up the dollar and noticed on it a series of numbers that he recalled to be that of which he had heard in his dream. Something came over him and he picked up the dollar and began to walk. As he walked he knew not where he was going but found himself in front of a gas station. He thought yes perhaps i should buy something to eat or drink. However he lost all appetite for food and water the instant he stepped in. He was then approached by the same homeless man he saw the day before and he asked "what did you do with the five dollars i gave you" of which the homeless man replied, "i used it to pay you. The man was confused and thought this man must be mad. The homeless man then again asked, "sir if you could may i have that dollar im in need of drink?" The man though his heart foolish because he couldn't deny the man his request so he gave him the dollar. The man left out of the gas station thinking indeed i am a fool I will starve once again because i am a man of sympathy. When he seen the man leave the homeless man purchased a lottery ticket with the same numbers he had seen on the dollar. As soon as he did the numbers on the dollar disappeared and the clerk took it. The man went home to find something attached to his door. It was an envelope. He went inside and opened it a small paper fell to the ground of which he ignored and he began to read the letter. It was an eviction notice giving him till the morning to move out. He became distraught and angry and all at once saddened thinking why? In his frustration he forgot about the small paper that feel and decided to go to sleep and enjoy his last night being in a warm home. As he slept he  had a dream and saw the homeless man he came up to him and asked why must you harass me in life and in sleep it is because of you that i have nothing. The homeless man replied why must you give every time i ask it is because of you that i have everything. The homeless man gave the man a paper in his dream and the man woke up immediately  As soon as he got up he realized it was morning and there was a loud banging at his door. Walking to the door he noticed the small paper that fell from the envelope something made him pick it up and pocket it without thinking. When he reached the door his landlord was there and as promised he was evicted. The man cared not to even take his belongings he simply left and went on his way. He then walked by the same gas station from the previous day and noticed the homeless man sitting in front of it he went and sat next to him and said i am a fool now i am like you without home and always begging you harass me in my sleep and in reality. The homeless man  said  "do i? well you know not who i am or where i come but i promise you today you will be payed your hearts ransom". The homeless man then pulled out a dollar and gave it to the man he said "take this and go buy a drink friend" The man went inside and pulled out the dollar to and took a drink from the shelf as he gave the dollar he also noticed the paper in his pocket and pulled it out. It was a lottery ticket. The Lady at the desk said "do you want me to scan that?" He thought what do i have to lose and he gave it over. Long story short the ticket was a winner. Instantly all his dreams and everything the homeless man had previously said made sense. He went outside to ask where the man had came from only to find him no longer there. However instead lay a dollar bill and on it was circled In God We Trust.
