When we had actual Food Stamps you couldn’t buy junk food with them.
Last week I found a SNAP card on the floor in my grocery store.
For a few seconds there it was all I could do to resist throwing it in a trash can.
Even as I consider myself a Christian man I struggle sometimes.
After the urge passed I knew I had to do the right thing and turn it in.
As I self checked out I asked for a manager.
I told him I found the card and gave it to him.
He said “great, we have someone right here looking for it” and returned it.
As it turned out, the owner was not who I expected it to be.
Looking back on it now I’m a little ashamed I even considered pitching it in the trash for even a second.
