Tis the Season

I wanted to share an amazing experience I had a couple of weeks ago. I was taking my monthly Walmart trip without the kids to stock up on groceries for the next month. I was standing in front of the hair sections looking for elastics and clips for the girls. I was standing there for quite sometime and happened to over hear a conversation of a guy who was pacing up and down the aisle. He was in sort of a panic because his wife was very sick. She required some medication that he didn't have money to pay for. Listening on she would require an operation the next day. I don't know if they were from out of town or just down on their luck without a place to stay. But when I heard him tell his friend that he hoped his wife would make it through the night out in the cold. He went further on to say that all he needed was $30 and that he had no way of coming up with the money. After a couple of minutes of processing this conversation I overheard I felt very impressed to go back and find this poor guy and give him the money he needed. It took me about 5 minutes of going up and down the aisle trying to find this guy. I went up and first apologized for ease dropping on his conversation but then handed him the money. He was shocked and somewhat speechless but began to cry saying thank you so much! It was my pleasure and wished him a Merry Christmas and that I was glad I could help. I will have to admit that as I walked away my eyes filled with tears too.
