What a powerful story! More stories like these, please! A great reminder that God works in mysterious ways, especially lay Catholics working at secular companies and in secular fields, that you can make more of an impact on the people around you than you might think, and that you might learn things from them that draw you closer to Christ too.

yes! We have to have the humility to be open to receiving something from the people that we think we are "giving" to - not with the expectation that this will happen, because that would make the relationship transactional instead of a gift of oneself, but rather because a gift of self (which is, also, a gift to Christ in the other) *is* sometimes freely reciprocated if the door is open to it. If they desire to reciprocate, it seems to me that regardless of what they have (and even more so if they seem to have very little), God will provide them also with something more that he wants to give through them, and so we must never put someone in a box and think they have nothing to give (anything good that either party has to give, comes from God.)
