Im emotional everyday, but for some reason I am extra emotional today. Heres my extremely long story: I am a very loving person, but patience is not one of my strengths. Earlier today at Meals on Wheels, our route was a little hectic and we had a hard time finding a couple of the places. I admit that I was frustrated on the last few stops. When we got to the last house, we knew she would be slow to the door because our sheets said so. We could hear her say,Im coming...Im coming...Im still coming and it gave us a giggle. When she opened the door, her eyes were bloodshot red and glassy. She was completely blind. She had mentioned that she called Meals on Wheels thinking we werent coming when really we were just late because of our complicated route. She was so grateful to get her meals and she was so smiley and happy. I immediately felt guilty for being impatient. Her sweet attitude made me remember why I did it in the first place. Second instance of the day: I had to go to CVS to get the refill of my monthly prescription. The drive thru line was long so I went inside. The inside line was longer. I thought,this sucks. So I was playing on my phone like I always do and finally I was next in line. The man in front of me was asking SO MANY questions and I was thinking,I wish you would just get your medicine and go. After about 3.5 minutes of questions (which is long time when youve already been standing there for 15), I realized he was asking so much because he didnt have money for both of them. One was $0 copay and the other was only $10. He was going to have to walk out without his medicine over $10. I just happened to have two $5 bills in my wallet that my Dad had given me last night because I picked up $8 worth of stuff from Kroger and he repaid me. I quietly went up to him when the cashier walked around the corner and told him he could have it. He was confused and speechless. He asked for my information so that he could send it back to me and I told him that wasnt necessary. He thanked me with tears in his eyes. Im not posting this for likes or comments...but because I believe The Lord has spoken very clearly to me not once, but twice today. He is trying to teach me a lesson about patience. I have several hundred friends on here so Im posting because maybe next time youre feeling impatient, you should really take a second to think about whats going on around you. ❤️
