Gratitude for simple kindness. It's so easy to get swept up in our emotions. But when we do what we know is right God is glorified in us. I have a friend that is the eyes of the body. He notices everything and steps in with quiet kindness at just the right moment. You were the eyes in the checkout line and you made a sweet difference...<br /><br />Blessings, Debbieno spring chickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15772761727295689298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-22134808377404833972011-06-21T07:26:51.908-07:002011-06-21T07:26:51.908-07:00you are so wise. haste not only makes waste, but

I loved what you said about that smile! People just aren't used to kindness from others. They hardly expect it anymore.

I always get groceries on Monday. If somebody has less, I always let them go ahead. Usually I say, I'm not in a hurry because I just have to go home and cook it. You'd be amazed how many people don't say thank you. There are also many who are very grateful. Funny what you learn in a line. Glad you were patient with the lady at the grocery store.Bonnie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052974547161586063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-13027567842469615642011-06-20T20:15:30.884-07:002011-06-20T20:15:30.884-07:00I love seeing your sunflowers, and hearing about y...I love seeing your sunflowers, and hearing about your busy day.

I'm very territorial! Some folks! You were a well behaved person. That's my friend Kim. You could have looked at her and said "You know, I have a friend named Patrice who would be very upset if you were going through her basket. Likely as not, she would whack you with a wooden spoon or a whisk- you know- she's a chef." That would have changed the whole course of the interaction!She'd have run with fear and trembling. You know how those chefs are!!!<br /><br />The second interaction was much better.Some folks just need to have someone be nice to them.Patricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09073900183291544491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-57676988540508335082011-06-20T18:19:31.755-07:002011-06-20T18:19:31.755-07:00You know...you're amazing.
