A
As I stood in the return line and watched people,I became extremely impatient.My daughter had got four Barbie dolls and two identical Cabbage Patch Kids on Christmas,so I was eager to return toys that she didn’t need.Suddenly a strong idea came to me.I eyed the lady in front of me with three small girls on her leg.The family looked poor.The children were without coats,and they had dirty faces and hair.“You are ready to get out of here,aren’t you? Give her the things you want to return,” the still voice spoke.“Give them to her? These are mine.I’m not giving her my stuff,” I argued.I swallowed the urge that threatened to escape my lips when the voice spoke again.“Give her the toys.” I was familiar with the voice .I know I couldn’t argue with that voice.
I sighed and tapped the lady on the shoulder.“Ma’am,” I cleared my throat.She looked at me with kind,tired eyes surrounded by wrinkles.“Yes?” she asked.“Would your little girls like to have these toys?” I pointed to my basket full of returns.“Would your children like to have them?” She was speechless,and I swore that tears were about to well up in her eyes.“You’d be doing me a favor.I can’t stand in this line in a moment longer.” “You have no idea,” she shook her head.“You have no idea what that means to me.”
I started loading her basket as the excited girls watched.“Merry Christmas,” I said,“God bless you.” She replied as I nodded and exited the line.I didn’t want to go the Walmart that day,but I went.I didn’t want to give the lady my kid’s toys,but I did.Sometimes doing what we don’t want to do is exactly what we’re supposed to do.
