Today, I was getting a few things for a lady that is shut in due to being sick!
I went to the checkout line, and there were three people in front of me and a young lady at the register! I heard the two people laughing about the lady at the register in front of me! I did not know why until she told the Cashier to put half of her stuff back! I started to walk up to see if I could help her! I noticed that all the things she was buying were for her babies.
I walked up and asked her if I could help her, and she started to cry, and then the devil lady started to laugh and point at the young lady with twins that were only three months old!
I asked her if she would put everything in her basket and come with me! She looked shocked, and that is when I handed her a One Spark card! She read it and then smiled and asked if I was the guy who spoke in her school, and I said yes!
I told her that I would meet her in front of the register! When I told the lady that was laughing, she had the worst heart condition known to man! She asked me what heart condition and I told her a hateful heart!
I got back where the young lady was standing, and three people were talking to her, and I walked up, and I noticed that the three people had tears in their eyes!
Then the young lady told me her story! Her husband was on his way home on Christmas Eve, hit some ice, lost control of his truck, hit the bridge, and was killed on impact!
She then told all seven of us that her husband never got to meet his twins! He missed the birth by three days! Now we were all crying!
I told her I would like to get some food for you, and I said I would grab a shopping cart! When I got to the shopping cart area, I noticed nine people holding shopping carts and wanted to help!
Before we finished shopping for the young lady, we had recruited another five people to help this young lady!
The women that were helping were on the ball! They knew just what to get for the babies! I wanted to buy all the wrong stuff, but in the end, the women got me back on course!
We got to the register, and I said I would go last, and that is when a lady in her seventies walked up to me and said my husband would like to pay for everything. Before I could say a word, she told me this was the first time he had ever wanted to help anyone, and she was not going to let me stop him!
People asked what they could pay for, and the woman told them to get gift cards for this lovely little girl!
I said OK and handed another woman 300.00 from me for gift cards!
I have to say this was amazing, but the best part was not 2700 in groceries or the 3900 in gift cards! The lady was rude, walking up and apologizing to the young lady and handing her $500 in cash!
There were lots of tears and hugs, and I walked up to the young lady and told her to reach out to me when she needed help!
The ladies helping out told her that they would all come to her house and help her put everything away! They came up to me, hugged me, and said thank you for spreading the love that started a fire that will never be put out!
One lady walked up to me and said, yes, your life has made a massive difference in this world, and I wish I were your mother because, baby boy, I would tell you how special you are to the world every day! I told her to thank you and walked out the door!
God is Awesome!
