I was
at Kromi, the local grocery store, when my heart was touched by the couple who
were in line behind me. I had handed my debit card to the cashier, but after
she had run it through twice she said it wouldn’t work. I handed her all the
cash I had in my purse, wound up 400 Bs (Bolivares, local currency) short. This
is enough money for someone to eat a couple nice meals at a restaurant. I
figured the cashier would just take back some of the groceries and subtract the
amounts until I came out even, but the couple behind me handed 400 Bs to the
cashier to cover my groceries! I felt as though they had reached over and given
me a big hug. The nervousness and frustration that had built up in me melted
away into a soothing gratefulness. I thanked them and assured them that I would
pass along the good work in some way. I thank God for their compassionate
hearts in my time of need! What a treasure they were to me.
I really enjoyed reading about your day, Rachel. You manage to keep so busy and I can't believe how long your work day lasts, especially with the added commute time as well. Also, please keep the photos coming ;)
