No creo que sea mucho pedir un gesto amable, al menos educado, para con aquellas personas que ponen la comida en su plato y en el de sus hijos.

All those wonderful splashes of color brighten the day. I've had some bad customer service experiences too, and it's always discouraging. I've also had experiences where a smile or simple kindness from a stranger turned a bad day around. You're right: it doesn't take much, and it can make a big difference in someone's day.

Sometimes I feel like I'm bothering the clerk in the store by being there. Oh, well, I will try not to let it bother me, either. All I can do is try to be kind.

I was polite on the outside, but I was angry on the inside. Later, though, I felt a bit chastised by the Lord for my attitude. He reminded me that the woman who had treated me poorly may have had difficult things going on in her life that I couldn't even imagine. So I prayed for her. That made me feel a little better, but I still wished that I'd tried harder to be kind to her.Linda at To Behold The Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419060763634934217noreply@blogger.com
