a glimpse of Jesus

I stopped by Smith's tonight at about 11:45 for some dish soap. The only lines open upstairs were the self-scan. Something ALWAYS goes wrong when I use them, so that boded ill.

All three were in use, and two men in line in front of me. Suddenly, a lady dropped a case of iced tea, all glass bottles. They broke, of course. One of the men in front of me was wearing a black Smith's shirt, and was trying to buy a bottle of water, obviously at the end of his shift.

The attendant called for a clean-up, and the lady and her friend tried their hand at it. Meanwhile, the Smith's employee in front of me looked around, almost emitting a perceivable sigh, and retrieved a caution sign from another checkstand to place by the mess. He then proceeded to pick up the case of broken glass, and wet and sticky mess and put it in a bag to throw away. As he walked by me to dispose of it, looking a bit tired, he even managed to give me a polite smile.

There are some people whom I truly admire. And sometimes I'm allowed to witness moments of true goodness. It surely takes my eyes off myself.

Random Smith's employee, I hold you in high regard. Thank you for your kindness.
