So as I was in Walmart today... I was already prepared to make a status saying ugh shopping at Publix is worth every extra penny... Walmart is so gross.. I was looking at everything, everyone, the way I was treated, how miserable the people that worked there were.... and just honestly thinking.. why do I subject myself to this?.. as I was walking out I was approached by a Lady who looked exhausted.. she was dirty..she had been crying her eyes out... she asked me if I had any extra money to help her get gas... I honestly didnt have any cash on me and I told her I was sorry I only had a card.. she begged and said.. do you have any dirty pennies, any change at all?.. I knew I did but responded with no,sorry have a good day... As I got in my car I watched her walk from person to person and everyone shake their heads and walk past her..I could see the defeat and shame and how humiliated she was... I am balling my eyes out as a type this.. It hit me like a ton of bricks.. SHAME ON ME.. It wasnt too long ago that I had no idea how I was going to pay for gas.. I prayed every night for God to provide enough for us to go to Walmart and be able to afford groceries.. We returned our DVD player to Walmart just to be able to afford formula.. I immediately went and grabbed the lady (her name is Candy) and told her to pull her car up to the tank.. I told her I was buying her a tank of gas.. She wept and could barely walk to her car.. I told her to get in my car (I normally wouldnt do this but I could see she was harmless).. She climbed in my car and we spent 30 minutes getting to know each other.. She just got behind and has never been able to catch up.. Her disabled husband got out of their beat up car (that they have been living in for almost 3 years) and hugged me.. she tried to give me the $3.15 she had collected in the parking lot..I prayed with them both and barely could make it to my car without losing it.. Thank you God for humbling me... Thank you God that I went through what I went through so I could no longer judge anyone...Thank you God for making me realize I am not and nor will I ever be too good for Walmart.. What I have now means NOTHING if I dont give it to God!
