I think you are absolutely right...you got a gift. Someone's watching over you and knew you needed these moments with this woman. It makes wonder, however, if maybe the cashier also got a gift from you. At this time of year, it's often hard to find people who are willing to hear someone's story while shopping. You did that. You listened to this woman's story and felt her joy. I think you both got a gift:~) Belinda,

The part that got to me was when she said her grandson asked when she would spend more time with him. Time is such a precious commodity. You tell a beautiful story, Belinda. Thanks for sharing it.

They come in so many different forms and perhaps we give to others without realizing it as well. My first thought upon reading this was “There are angels in our midst” and I believe that.

Now we have heard it too, and I am moved to spend my moments more wisely. Thank-you for sharing your gift. :-) I think you were in the right line, at the right time, and heard the message loud and clear.

Is it random? I don't know. I tend to believe it happened for a reason. These particular words were told to you because you were open to receiving them. It does put our own lives in perspective. Belinda,

That you went holiday shopping on this day, at this particular moment. That you were served by this woman with this profound experience to share. That you needed to hear it, and she needed to share it. How cool is that? It’s lovely how life presents messages to us in unexpected ways.

Problems are still problems, but they show us that we can somehow still soar in spite of them. :) Survivors have an unerring knack for leaving profound impressions, for sure.

A gift indeed. Thank you for sharing it with us. These sort of “chance” encounters really help put our lives in perspective. A gift indeed. Thank you for sharing it with us.
