Love

Yesterday I was in Sam's Club eating a hot pretzel in the cafe area. An elderly gentleman was talking to a toddler & being very sweet to her parents. He introduced himself as Pastor ---.

I observed an elderly woman come up to him with a cart. Obviously his wife. He greeted her with a hearty "Hi!" Like he was so happy to see her. She went off to the customer service area while he very shakily (is that even a word?) got to his feet. I saw him struggling to put on his coat. Then he looked down and appeared to be reading the Sam's ad. When he tried again to put on the coat, I went over to help & finally got his arm in the sleeve.

He was Black. I am white. It made no difference to me. I saw a love story when his wife walked up. I saw a man with trembling hands trying to put on his coat. I wished I had been to his church and heard him preach. I worried about which one of them was driving home. There is good in this world. I know I am a part of it.
