Blessed by a drunken man

There he was. I had seen the sick looking blonde man three times that day.  I was sick of seeing him and tired of inhaling his second hand smoke.  I really wanted him to know I was pissed at him for making me breathe his dirty air while we waited in the long visa line.  I kept making it completely obvious by coughing really loudly... I don't know if I made myself clear, but I figure I would understand the person behind me didn't like my smoke if they were coughing in my ear!!  

There he was.  And he was looking our direction.  I was thinking OH GREAT.  Now we're going to have to talk to the man...  Every time I had seen him, he was smoking and drinking.  I hadn't seen him without a can of beer in his hands yet.  He approached us.  We couldn't escape if we wanted to, we were stuck in the line to go to Thailand.  As bad as he looked, he wasn't that scary.  He did make quite a few jabs at America.  Who does that?  He knew we were all Americans... what are you supposed to say when someone tells you they think your country sucks?  I love Ashley, she had the greatest comeback for his comments, it was smart but not too offensive... 

He was actually very friendly and nice, except for the slams on America... he found us a discount on a bus ride to Thailand.  Then, I was amazed at what I saw.  He was drunk and weird, but he had a nice side.  There was a beggar at the bus terminal.  I was sick of everyone at that point, and didn't even think of giving him any money.  But, this drunken man gave him some money! I was amazed!! Who was I to judge this man?  He gave money to a man and I didn't even think about it!  I was shocked, and it made me realize that he was more of a Christian than me!! I learned something from this drunken man.  God surprises me and speaks to me through things that I never thought possible!
