It isn't very often any more that you receive kindness from a random stranger any more. We have had two in the last week. I was really thankful for it. They both we God moments.
We went to see our mom's last week. On our way home we had to drop back by my mom's house. So we all went out to eat at Cracker Barrel. There was a older couple sitting down across from us. The man started playing with Levi. They were having so much fun together. Then He offered to buy the boys a scoop of ice cream after their dinner. I just though it was so sweet. He didn't have to do that at all. I had the boys tell him thank you. I was just so surprised at the act of kindness.
Last night we went grocery shopping at Wal-Mart. It was a horrible experience. Levi was in serious melt down mode. He want to buy a Toy, then he wanted to buy a costume. Steve and I had both told him No. He was not happy. He was WAILING through the store. It was horrible. So I was heading out to take him to the car, because he just wouldn't stop. He was wailing so loud that people were turning to look at us. So we were walking by the freezer sections, there was a guy stocking the ice cream. I don't know what made him decided to stop and talk to Levi, but He did. He was truly a nice young man. He asked Levi "Is is really that bad? What is wrong?" Levi buried he said in my leg while still wailing (the sound was truly horrific). So the young man offered to buy Levi an ice cream bar. I have never seen he change is tune so quickly. It was truly so thoughtful for him to buy it for Levi. I wish I could say that it prevented melt-downs for the rest of the night, but it didn't.
It is so nice and heart warming to receive this kind of thoughtfulness and kindness. I see God in the middle of it working on me and letting me know that He is there in the middle of it all. No matter how crazy or loud things get He is there. He won't leave me or forsake me.
