Billy Ray Harris
I heard a story yesterday that I wanted to share as it
really warmed my heart and gave me faith in us and in humanity.
You may have heard it but there was a homeless
man in America who recently returned an engagement ring to its rightful owner
after it was accidentally dropped in his begging cup. This lady Sarah had been out in her local city when she saw
Billy on the streets begging. She gave him some loose change and kept walking.
It wasn’t until later that day she noticed her very expensive and very valuable
diamond ring was missing.
She searched for it for days with no success then
remembered Billy on the streets who she had given change to. She realised then
that it must have fallen into his cup. So she went back to find Billy, most
likely presuming he would no longer be there or if he was that he would deny
that such ring existed.
So it was to her utter surprise that when she
approached him and mentioned that she may have left him something a little more
valuable than just a few dollars change, that Billy looked at her and handed her
the ring.
Billy said that he didn’t notice the ring at first but when
he did, due to its size, knew it was expensive and that the owner would some day return.
What a beautiful man but what I love most abou tthis sotry and what makes it even more beautiful and amazing is that a campaign has since started for Billy by Sarah. So many people have come forward to help
Billy by giving him little bits here and there. To date almost $172,000 has
been raised for Billy.

This story gives me so much faith in the human race and how
the world works. I honestly do believe that what you give is ultimately what
you get back.
Billy Ray you are one beautiful man whom so many of us can learn
from. Bless your heart.
