THOUGHTFULNESS

Yesterday on my lunch break I ran to the store to do some quick shopping. In front of me in line was this young man who had a dozen balloons. The cashier was trying to untangle them and scan them. While she was doing this he notice some roses and asked me to help him pick out some good ones. The cashier proceeded to say" wow there is a lucky girl out there." He responded 'They are for my mom." I thought like many of you "wow that is really sweet". How thoughtful of him to remember his mom on such a day and not a cute girl he might have his eye on. He finished paying and turned and handed me a rose and said"This is for you thank you for your help." I was blown away again at his thoughfulness. As I left the store I pondered on the many oppurtunites we have to help other people in the slightest ways. I have had many opportunities that I missed because of whatever reason. On the other hand I think of the people who have helped me . Whether it be big or small and how it makes me feel. I hope that I can remember what this young man showed me and look for the mom with her arms full of kids and groceries or an elderly person who may need help grabing something off a shelf. Thoughtfulness is the first step to giving and we all know how we feel after we help or give a few seconds to someone. It feels really good.
