'Some people!' snorted a man standing behind me
in the long line at the grocery store.
'You would think the manager would pay attention
and open another line,' said a woman.

I looked to the front of the line
to see what the hold up was
and saw a well dressed, young woman,
trying to get the machine to accept her credit card.
No matter how many times she swiped it,
the machine kept rejecting it.

'It's one of them welfare card things.
Damn people need to get a job like everyone else,'
said the man standing behind me.

The young woman turned around to see who had made the comment.

'It was me,' he said, pointing to himself.

The young lady's face began to change expression.
Almost in tears, she dropped the welfare card
onto the counter and quickly walked out of the store.

Everyone in the checkout line watched
as she began running to her car.

Never looking back, she got in and drove away.

{After developing cancer in 1977
and having had to use food stamps;

the person who wrote this story
said he learned never to judge anyone,
without knowing the circumstances of their life. }

This turned out to be the case today.

Several minutes later a young man walked into the store.
He went up to the cashier
& asked if she had seen the woman.

After describing her, the cashier told him
that she had run out of the store,
got into her car, and drove away.

'Why would she do that?' asked the man.

Everyone in the line looked around
at the fellow who had made the statement.

'I made a stupid comment about the welfare card she was using.
Something I shouldn't have said. I'm sorry,' said the man.

'Well, that's bad, real bad, in fact.
Her brother was killed in Afghanistan two years ago.
His wife died of cancer a few months later.
They had three young children
and she has taken on that responsibility.
She's twenty years old, single,
and now has three children to support,'
he said in a very firm voice.

'I'm really truly sorry. I didn't know,'
he replied, shaking both his hands about.

The young man asked, 'Are these paid for?'

pointing to the shopping cart full of groceries.

'It wouldn't take her card,' the clerk told him.

'Do you know where she lives?'
asked the man who had made the comment.

'Yes, she goes to our church.'

'Excuse me,' he said as he made his way
to the front of the line .
He pulled out his wallet, took out his credit card

and told the cashier, 'Please use my card. PLEASE!'

The clerk took his credit card
and began to ring up the young woman's groceries.

'Hold on,' said the gentleman.
He walked back to his shopping cart
and began loading his own groceries
onto the belt to be included.
'Come on people. We got three kids to help raise!'
he told everyone in line.

Everyone began to place their groceries
onto the fast moving belt.
A few customers began bagging the food
and placing it into separate carts.

'Go back and get two big turkeys,'
yelled a heavyset woman, as she looked at the man.

'NO,' yelled the man.
Everyone stopped dead in their tracks.
The entire store became quiet for several seconds.
'Four turkeys,' yelled the man.
Everyone began laughing and went back to work.

When all was said and done,
the man paid a total of $1,646.57 for the groceries.

He then walked over to the side, pulled out his check book,

and began writing a check
using the bags of dog food piled
near the front of the store for a writing surface.

He turned around and handed the check to the young man.
'She will need a freezer and a few other things as well,'
he told the man.

The young man looked at the check and said,
'This is really very generous of you.'

'No,' said the man. 'Her brother was the generous one.'

Everyone in the store had been observing
the odd commotion and began to clap.

And I drove home that day feeling very American.

We live in the Land of the free, because of the Brave!!!

Remember our Troops of Yesterday and Today!!!

A great example of why we should be kind and patient.

Kindness is the language the blind can see
and the deaf can hear.

May God's many blessings continue to be with you - ALWAYS!!!



PLEASE KEEP THIS GOING....

IT WILL OPEN A LOT OF EYES, HOPEFULLY HEARTS,

AND KEEP SOME MOUTHS SHUT..~~

In the country of Japan, close to where all the asian hookers are

nope...to close to jailbait

that is always seems to little or too much."

Would you consider that be true?
Would you feel offended if someone you love ask you for space when you think you're not getting enough attention as is?

Oh great....more lips.
