*A Taste of Heaven*

                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.

  1. 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 ;)
