It does my
heart good to view a stranger helping another stranger at my work. It all
happened in the parking lot of my store. A middle-aged woman bundled up for an
Ohio winter with a white fur hat (let’s call her Nancy since I never got her
name) was on her lunch break from her at-home job. Nancy’s car decided to die
on her. She was about to head in the store for something called dry gas from
our automotive section. I volunteered to help her find it.
Along comes
a fiftyish woman (I’ll call Gladys) with short flaming red hair, and an
adorable yapping Yorkshire terrier in a plaid sweater. Nancy’s savior didn’t look like one. She
showed up when she was needed most. Gladys gave Nancy a ride home. According to
Nancy, she lived close by. I assume she made it home before her lunch hour
concluded (I had to leave), got back to her computer work, and dealt with the
car later as it sat in the parking lot of the store.
The Message translation of Psalm 133:1 says, “How wonderful, how beautiful, when brothers
and sisters get along!” It benefits everyone when we treat each other nice
just out of the goodness of our heart. This is achievable. Give it a try.
