So tonight, my family decided to fix hamburgers for dinner, and having just had a hamburger for lunch with my beautiful friend Jacqueline I wasn't in a hamburger mood, but my stomach craved spaghetti. So I searched the pantry high and low for sauce with no luck and still spaghetti on my mind and stomach. I decided to go to Wal-Mart and pick some sauce up, seeing how it was just up the road. But I really wasn't looking forward to getting put of my PJ's and getting "really" dressed. And unlike most Wakullians I wasn't about to wear my PJ's to Wal-Mart. So I threw on some jeans and a jacket and headed down the road.
I grabbed my sauce and headed to the "quick" check out, you know the 20 items or less? I got in the one line and decided she was taking too long, so I moved over behind a woman and her son, who just so happened to have down syndrome. He looked about my age if not a little older, I smiled and declined her offer to go a head of them. So glad I did! And so glad I moved over. Because I got to take in the beauty and perfection of this young man as he put his and his mom's items on the check out, one by one he placed soup cans and juices, and etc. Suddenly I wasn't worried about the time or how fast the line was moving.
He kept telling the cashier good job, as she scanned his items, she took each item from his precious hands and told him Thank you every time and great job! He smiled and said "I's smart" His mom said "Yes, yes you are" as she kissed his precious head. Then after he and his mom were finish checking out he high fived the cashier and then wrapped his arms around her and kissed her cheek as he told her he love her. She embraced his hug and returned the I love you!! Sooo sweet! Tears ran down my face as I watched this woman interacting with him in such a Godly way! No judgement, no guilt! Just love!!!
The cashier then asked for his name and told him she would see him next time!
He then looked at me and smiled and waved I returned both, then the words just blurted out of his mouth "Look mama there's a baby, the baby is beautiful!" Referring to the young mom behind me with her young infant in a car seat facing her, no where is sight of this young man, yet he called the child beautiful! The mom replied with a smile and a thank you! They then walked away and as they did I heard him tell his mom " I kissed her mama"... Everyone around us smiled!
So despite all the evil in the world! You can still see God working ;) What a beautiful moment and a beautiful life! Thank you God! What a blessing to witness!!
It's just a reminder that you never know when you are entertaining a angel!
Reminds me of the song "What if she's a angel"
