Customer: "Hey. How are you
doing?"
Clerk: "Bad."
Customer: "Bad day?"
Clerk: "it’s been a bad
month." She sighs.
Customer: "____ had a seizure
and she's in the hospital. She can't move."
Clerk: Her eyes grow wide. She
looks shocked. She says nothing.
Customer: "Yeah. She's in
room ___. You should go see her." He smiles as he accepts his receipt,
pushed his shopping cart, and heads toward the doors. He looks back with a
smile on his face and says, "Bye. Take care. I hope things get better."
Then she says to me, "Just
when I think I have it bad, someone always has it worse than me."
Me: "Umm hmm." I agree
with her.
After the customer left, the
clerk appeared more friendly and energetic.
The entire time they held their
conversation, I was thinking the very thing the clerk had spoken, "Someone
has it worse than me."
We all go through tough
situations in life. We should be grateful for all Jesus has done for us, even
while going through tough times. When you find yourself wanting to complain
about something that is not right in your life, just remember someone has it
worse than you do.
Be blessed.
