Each Sunday evening, my producer, Andy, and I drive together to the WSB studio to do the show. We take the same route each time.

At one of the final traffic lights before entering the studio garage, 9 times out of 10, we see Robert. Robert is homeless and normally sits on the sidewalk at that intersection with a small sign asking for money.

For well over a year now, Andy and I have gotten to know Robert. We spend a minute or two chatting with him and I share what is in my wallet with him. Robert is articulate and kind. He has gentle eyes for a man who also lives on the street.

Last Sunday, we pulled up to the intersection, and as usual, Robert was there. He ran over to my truck, and we greeted one another. I asked him how he was doing, cold weather, misty rain and all. He said he was fine and showed me a new coat he had received earlier in the day as a gift from a passer-by. It was a nice coat. Real leather. He then showed me a second coat that the same man had given him and asked me if I needed a coat. Robert noted that my jacket looked too flimsy to be wearing in such dreary weather. I told him I was fine, but he insisted. "This is a nice coat. Look at it. Must have cost $400. Please use it." He was right; the second coat was even nicer than the one Robert had put on. It was a remarkable gesture.

Andy and I politely declined Robert's generous offer. It really was a nice coat. As I drove off, I distinctly heard in the back of my ear, "Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none; and whoever has food must do likewise." I bet Robert knows that Scripture better than I do. He certainly lives it better than I.
