Theirs is the Kingdom

I met a woman outside of subway today asking for a dollar. I asked if I could buy her something, and she told me up front she actually wanted it for a cigarette. After getting my sandwich, I thought I would give it to her but say "I don't want you to use it for smoking." I think then the Spirit told me "She doesn't need that shit right now. She just wants a cigarette, not a sermon. She gets enough scorn and criticism on her lifestyle without your help." And then I gave her a dollar and joked around with her and shook her hand. Her hands were warm and soft, and mine were a bit cold and calloused. I don't think a dollar was enough for what she gave me.
