An urge to go to Wal-mart?!

I can't believe that it actually happened to me...

For some reason I felt like going to Wal-mart this morning. It was a HIGHLY suspicious occurrence, but I went anyway.

I got the things that were on the list and as I was checking out I heard someone crying. I followed my ears and found a young lady sitting on a bench near the Customer Service area who was experiencing a series of very unfortunate events.

I just sat down with her for a while. I asked if she was okay... if there was anything that I could do... then I just listened to the story of how her day had taken a turn for the worst...

She had lost her keys and she was late for work, but she couldn't get to work without her car keys, nor could she get to her other set of keys without transportation or breaking into her own house... It was a strange predicament and I really felt for her.

At the end of the story I was able to encourage her and together we talked through a plan.

I am totally sure that my trip to Wal-mart had nothing to do with the things on my list.

If we will listen, God will lead us into opportunities to make the world a better place... one life at a time. God is at work in many of the lives we encounter during our "daily routines" who would really be blessed by a kind word, a helping hand or just a little bit if hope.

Be a blessing!
