The grocery store is nearly empty and
I have plenty of time to visit with the
Little woman who greets me as
I enter.
I discover the employee is old enough to
Retire, but she can't.
She can't afford it.
She lives alone and "Everything's so
Expensive," she says.
I concur.
"I'll be here for years yet," she sighs.
I console her.
I put my arm around the gal and say,
"I'll add you to my prayer list."
I hand her my "Facing Life" tract and
Continue with my shopping.
On my way out the greeter is still standing at
Her post, and I give her a thumbs up.
The lone lady smiles sweetly at
Everyone who comes toward her, but
I suppose few know that she would much
Rather be at home.
