Today I had the wonderful oppertunity to go grocery shopping. Aren't you all jealous? :) I have to say that I am not the biggest fan of any kind of shopping...but oh well, mom needed it done and I was driving through anyhow. So I had just pulled up to Red Apple and was on the phone with me mom and, so I parked, turned off the car, opened the door locked it and then got out and shut it. So I run into to Red Apple to get some wonderful eggs and bananas, blissfully unaware of what act of stupidity I had just committed. After purchasing the afore mentioned items, I sauntered out to the car.
As I walked out the doors of Red Apple, A lady ahead of me was walking and all of the sudden stopped to help an older lady finish putting her groceries in her car and than took the cart back to the store for the lady. I was impressed and so happy to see that this world is not all bad and that people do still take the time to help others out.
So with a smile on my face I continued on my way to my car and go to grab my keys from my pocket...but no keys were wanting to be found, so I searched my other pockets, and my purse, frantically trying to remember what I had done with them. Well I finally looked in my car and saw my keys, in the ignition, just waiting for me to grab them before I had exited the car, had I remembered?...nope. So now I had an arm load of groceries, a locked car and no clue as to how I was going to get my car unlocked. I called home, and told them of my dilema, but they were over 30 minutes away so they wouldn't be able to help, but they gave me suggestions as to what I could do. While I was talking to them, an older gentlemen heard me explaining my predicament, walked into the store, found a wire hanger and brought it out to me, Thankfully I had the window rolled down a little bit so that hanger fit in just perfectly and he proceeded to unlock my car for me.
It was so wonderful to be able to get into my car! I am so grateful for that gentleman and for his help. I am so grateful for anyone that stops and takes time to perform some little act of kindness for someone. These people are such good examples to me and I am so grateful for them.
Thank You unknown strangers for all you do!
