I had to do my normal grocery shopping at Kroger today or tomorrow and I was DREADING IT, especially after the posts last night. I went this morning.
Instead of rudeness and panic....I encountered hardworking people who were restocking shelves with smiles, customers that were patient and kind to one another, and just a general sense of calm. I thanked every one of the employees I passed for their hard work. I called the store afterwards and thanked the manager for her employees and their attitudes, especially after the crazy days they must have had. She got choked up.
Let’s be kind, friends. Let’s encourage each other. Build people up. Pray for each other. Everyone needs it!
It’s a a little scary and uncertain out there, but so often the the best in people comes out in the worst of times. I’ve seen it a 1000 times, and I saw it again this morning. I’m thankful I went to Kroger this morning—it filled me with HOPE!
I really appreciate the hopefulness of this line: "I encountered hardworking people who were restocking shelves with smiles, customers that were patient and kind to one another, and just a general sense of calm." Thank you for sharing a happy story!!
