I raced through the store
And found myself behind
The same man in the checkout lane .
He turned smiled and began
Emptying my cart for me
While the cashier scanned his items .
I stood amazed
I returned the smile and thanked him
For both good deeds .
He shrugged and said ,
It does not cost anything
To be nice .
I cringed and felt my face
Go red as I remember Jesus
Command , just as I have loved you ,
You also should love one another
I realized I was angry
Over something trivial
And a sudden rush at gratitude
Swept over me .
I am thankful for the man
Whose acts of kindness
Had an impact on my attitude .
I Love You All
