Matt Busbice has earned millions of dollars in the business world.

But the dollar he was given was worth far more than a buck.

“I haven’t had that much faith in humanity in a very long time,” Busbice said of the incident in which he was mistaken for a homeless man, according to CBS.

But the dollar he was given was worth far more than a buck.

“I haven’t had that much faith in humanity in a very long time,” Busbice said of the incident in which he was mistaken for a homeless man, according to CBS.

The 42-year-old, who owns sporting-goods store BuckFeather in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was rousted from bed by a fire alarm.

There was no fire, but he was wide awake, and so, in mismatched clothes, he decided to get a cup of coffee.

 

Before entering the shop, he stopped on its patio to do his morning prayer.
Enter 9-year-old Kelvin Ellis Jr.

“And I started to slowly open my eyes, and there’s a kid coming at me, about my height,” Busbice said.

Ellis had a fist clenched. Busbice was ready for trouble. Instead, Ellis opened his fist to give Busbice a $1 bill.

“And I go, ‘What?’” Busbice said.

“‘If you’re homeless, here’s a dollar,’” Ellis recalls that he said.

“I always wanted to help a homeless person, and I finally had the opportunity,” Ellis said.

The dollar, a reward for good grades, was all the money Ellis had. Busbice stayed in touch and later let Ellis have a shopping spree at BuckFeather that included a new bike.

Ellis said he did not hand away his dollar for a reward, but for “joy, because I helped someone.”

“Give something away, and you feel like you’ve got a lot of things from it,” the 9-year-old said.

“If you give, you’re actually going to get more out of that,” Busbice said, per CBS.

“I couldn’t grasp that as a kid. And if we can spread that around, everything changes.”

Busbice has a net worth of about $5 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. source

I loved this story.  BOTH the boy and the man had been praying!  The story reminded me of the joy of belonging to Jesus and how life is empty without Him! 

I really don’t know how people live without Him – especially in these evil last days!

HOW CAN I BE SAVED?

COME LORD JESUS – WE LONG TO BE WITH YOU!

  2. I really like that the man turned and rewarded the good deed of the boy even though the boy expected nothing. Plus he is a praying millionaire.

  3. So good to hear a positive story, and especially so because of the prayer aspect of the whole thing. No matter how bad things get, the Lord is always working in the little things in life. And those “little” things really turn into big things with God. Thanks for sharing this story, Geri. God bless.
