One evening as I was leaving the store，I noticed a man with a very old sleeping bag going through the garbage can nearby．He pulled out fast food trash bags and inspected all that was in the thrown away bags，but he never stopped anyone to beg for money or anything eles as they entered or left my store．After he went through the entire trash can，he carefully cleaned up the area and wrapped up the food he found in the dirty hamburger wrapper．My heart literally hurt for him．
I decided to help him．I got out of my car and asked him if I could buy him something to eat．He thanked and，followed me to the fast food place around the block．I bought him the biggest meal they had on the menu．He didn't ask for anything and the only request was a big glass of hot sweet tea to go with his meal．When I brought him the food，he was so thankful．He told me how much he appreciated the meal．
I wanted to give him some money．He shook his head．I asked him if I could buy a few meals and put it on a gift card for him．He agreed．
As I handed him the gife card，he broke down crying．He told me that he prayed for me today．I wasn't sure what he meant （I was guessing he was praying for me for what I did for him ）so I thanked him．
"NO，I prayed that God would send someone to buy me a hot meal today …and be sent you!" Tears traced down his checks．
I didn't know what to say …I always pray over my food，but I've never prayed for a meal．I've never doubted that I wouldn't be able to eat …Tears began to fill my eyes．Oh my …how blessed am I…Maybe God used me to answer this man's prayer．
Everybody has a story though I didn't know his，but I had done what God wanted me to．God put him in my path …I knew he did．I took him to my office．

What is the difference between a fear （害怕）and a phobia？You might have a fear of dogs if you have ever been bitten by one．However，if you avoid walking down streets where you think there might be a dog，you may have a phobia，which is a strong unnatural fear．If the fear has started to change a person's life，he or she probably has a phobia．Different surveys say that between 10and 80percent of us have at least one phobia．
You can probably guess what some of the most"popular"phobias are．Flying may be the safest way to travel，but many people are scared of doing it．Fear of heights is also very common．For example，Spider﹣Man actor Tobey Maquire can't stand high places．However，Tobey is not afraid of spiders that most people are afraid of．Rupert Grint，who plays in the Harry Potter movies，is in fear of spiders．"In one scene of the movie，we come into the large spider's hole，and there we meet a spider that is the size of an elephant and really scary because he has these hairs．I'm really scared of spiders．"he said．
．For example，cats are very cute for most of us，but not for such powerful people in history as Alexander the Great and Napolean Bonaparte．Actor Nicole Kidman says，"I'm not scared of snakes or spiders，but I'm scared of butterflies．Sometimes when I came home from school，the biggest butterfly you had ever seen would be just sitting on our front gate．I would climb over the fence，move slowly to the side of the house，or do anything to avoid having to go through the front gate．"Clowns （小丑）are not so funny for actor Johnny Depp，whose childhood memory of the"painted faces and fake smiles"still makes him scared．Some other weird （怪诞的）phobias，including chewing gum，old doors or windows and footsteps，also fear some famous persons，such as Orah Winfred，Billy Boband Sigmund Fred．
