I took my friend's daughter to Albertsons to pick up some things she needed for school. As we were walking around in the produce section, I could tell she was cold. I asked her if she was cold and she said no. I looked at her again and realized she had goosebumps. I took off my sweater and put it on her. It was practically like a dress on her, but I insisted she wear it because she is little and I did not want her to be cold. We walked around and picked up everything we needed, and then walked outside to my car. I put her in the car first, and then loaded the groceries into my trunk. A nice gentleman (who did not work for Albertsons) came by and said "I will take your cart for you and put it away; I saw you had your hands full with the little girl, so it is the least I can do". I thanked him and told him to have a great night.
It was refreshing to see that he was not so self-consumed. Many people out there do good deeds for others. It might be a small gesture, but it is the thought that always counts. Open your eyes to greatness and you will see greatness everywhere.
