A few days ago when I stopped at HEB in Belton, Texas, I noticed a young, courteous, black gentleman (employee) helping an older, white lady with her groceries at her car.
Their conversation showed that he graciously cared about her concerns—I couldn’t catch the details, but I paused to watch and listen, then went into the store.
I waited until he brought the electric grocery cart back, and gave him commendation—“If we duplicated what you just did, enough times, our country wouldn’t have any more problems.”
That may be oversimplifying things, but those few minutes of real, everyday life included so many ingredients that we need today.
I didn’t get his name, but he got affirmed and encouraged by me.
And I’m quite sure that what I saw is often observed in his way of life.
May his tribe increase.
And God bless his parents.
