My mother and I started our morning by rushing into the local grocery store. I waited in line at the Starbucks counter while she around to pick up a few things.
As I was there I noticed an elderly woman, wearing layers (层) layers of old torn clothing, moving behind me in line.
She had a few toiletries(化妆品)and seemed to want the Starbucks cashier to since our queue was shorter than the grocery store queues were.
At some point I became of her moving closer behind me –it was than I was comfortable with! I instinctively (本能地) a hand over my purse and drew it closer to me. My fear and imagination raced creating wild about this homeless woman who might try to from me.
Then it was my to order. As the cashier rang up my total I discovered I was 37 cents . I called to my mother but she is hard of hearing. She asked me to what I said but she still couldn't me out.
At that point, a long grey arm, with in its sleeves, over from behind me. She laid 37 cents out on the counter, saying, "Here, We all need some sometimes."
I was ! Here was a woman who clearly had very little to and in great need herself. I had judged her and she had reached out, voluntarily, to help me!
What an amazing gift and lesson this woman gave me about others. Thank You, God!!
