I Raced


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
