Got at Work Today

A true story as told to me by a friend who works part-time in a grocery store:

A young man pushed his cart of groceries to the counter. He watched as the items were keyed into the register, but his mind was home with his pregnant wife. It was late and he wanted to be home with her. The cashier ran the final item through and told him the amount he needed to pay. He reached into his back pocket...and found he'd forgotten his wallet.

Embarrassed, he asked if she could hold the groceries while he went home to get his money. The cashier told him she'd have to void out the items and he would need to run them through when he returned.

The woman in line behind him told the cashier it was all right. She would pay for his groceries and for hers, too. And she did, despite his protests.

This is a true example God working in today's world. You won't see it in the headlines of the newspaper. You won't hear it in the news. But this one deed will endure and spread and the rewards await in heaven. Amen.
