Amen. I remember a time when I was behind a woman with little kids at the grocery store. She didn’t have much money, and NO she wasn’t using food stamps. She didn’t have enough money for milk, so she was going to put it back. And, NO there weren’t junk food items in her cart either. I paid for her milk. Yes, but for the grace of God, there goes I.

I would say “God bless you” but I’m sure He already has.

I did the same thing in North Carolina. And, believe me, I could barely afford it. This young black lady was holding a baby and was buying milk, eggs, bread and orange juice. She had to tell the clerk to take the oj back. I asked the clerk how much it was and she told me. I said “I’ll pay for it.” The woman cried and just thanked me over and over. Of course, that brought some tears to my eyes and I said “Maybe some day you’ll be able to help someone. I wish you the best.”

By the way, I asked how much the oj was because I wasn’t sure I even had enough money to buy it myself. If I hadn’t, I was going to put something back that I wanted but did not need.
