Hello!  This is Jamie filling in for my mom while she is in Poland for a few more days.

I had an interesting experience yesterday.  It was a busy day in our house.  More things to do than hours in the day and it was Molly's 2nd birthday.  I picked up the kids at daycare and went to the doctor for an appointment.  We had to pick up medicine at the pharmacy on the way home and a balloon for the birthday girl.  I thought it would be a 20 minute trip, but with a now 2-year old and 3 1/2 year old in tow, you just never know.

The pharmacy was busy, so we stalled and got a few things.  We got a Dora birthday balloon and the nice lady made a wristband for Molly to wear it, so it wouldn't float to the ceiling in the store.  After about 5 minutes.....you guessed it, floated to the ceiling.

So, now I have a sad Molly and a Luke who is asking what should we do.  A really nice teenage girl climbed into my cart and tried to reach it, a retired man gave her something else to be a little taller...an ear of sweet corn.  The teenager's mom found an employee who got a broom and batted it down.  Crisis averted.  I noticed that the teenageer was wearing a small cross necklace.  I know that that is "in-style" now, but her actions spoke louder than words.  She's climbing into a strangers cart at a busy grocery store, how embarrassing!!

She was being Jesus by assisting a mom with two grumpy kids in the grocery store.  I never caught her name and did say thank you before we parted ways.  It reminds me to be more like Jesus in small ways that I don't realize are that big of a deal at the time.  It might not be a big deal to me, but you don't know the impact it may have on other people.  I'm sure that she didn't.
