Patience and Grace.

So as I was sitting in the back room on my lunch break at work today and my phone starts vibrating. It's mom. I answer, and this is what I hear...

"Hi honey, I have a story for you. I went down to the grocery store today to get a few things and when I got in line to pay, there was a woman in front of me, about my same age, and in front of here was an elderly woman about 80. They elderly lady had just a few groceries in a small bag and she was frantically looking through her purse. The man behind the counter was huffing and puffing. The lady was shaking as she searched through her purse. Finally the lady my age who was behind the elderly lady turned to me and said, "You might want to go to another line. She can't find her debit card." She said this with a very rude and annoyed tone in her voice.
I looked at the ladies groceries and knew it couldn't be that much money so I asked the checker, "How much is it?" The man looked at me in shock and said "Uh... 15 dollars" So, I took my credit card out and swiped it. The little old ladies face lit up and she said to me"I can't thank you enough. Please tell me your name and let me pay you back. I got robbed last night and I think they must of taken my Debit Card. I only needed these few things and I have to get to the hospital. One of the robbers hurt me." As she said this, she lifted up her skirt to reveal a large brown and purple bruise on her thigh. "They kicked me and took a great deal of stuff from my house." The man behind the counter and the rude woman behind the elderly lady just stood there in shock. I hope they learned their lesson."



Always love.
