My mother and I started our morning by rushing into the local grocery store. I waited in line at the Starbucks counter while she
around to pick up a few things.
As I was
there I noticed an elderly woman, wearing layers (层)
layers of old torn clothing, moving behind me in line.
She had a few toiletries(化妆品)and seemed to want the Starbucks cashier to
since our queue was shorter than the grocery store queues were.
At some point I became
of her moving closer behind me –it was
than I was comfortable with! I instinctively (本能地)
a hand over my purse and drew it closer to me. My fear and imagination raced creating wild
about this homeless woman who might try to
from me.
Then it was my
to order. As the cashier rang up my total I discovered I was 37 cents
. I called to my mother but she is hard of hearing. She asked me to
what I said but she still couldn't
me out.
At that point, a long grey arm, with
in its sleeves,
over from behind me. She laid 37 cents out on the counter, saying, "Here, We all need some
sometimes."
I was
! Here was a woman who clearly had very little to
and in great need herself. I had judged her
and she had reached out, voluntarily, to help me!
What an amazing gift and lesson this woman gave me about
others. Thank You, God!!
