When the supermarket clerk tallied up my groceries, I was $12 over what I had on me.
I began to remove items from the bags, when another shopper handed me a $20 bill.
“Please don’t put yourself out,” I told him.
“Let me tell you a story,” he said. “My mother is in the hospital with cancer.
I visit her every day and bring her flowers.
I went this morning, and she got mad at me for spending my money on more flowers.
She demanded that I do something else with that money. So, here, please accept this.
It is my mother’s flowers.” (Leslie Wagner, Peel, Arkansas.)
The next time you see a stranger with some need, will you offer assistance?
Or, is it your habit to turn away?
Our daily lives are comprised of many choices.
CHOOSE KINDNESS!
