\u201cThe kids are out of school until April and I need the essentials. Yes, even toilet paper. But one package, not 18. Walmart had closed aisles and pushy patrons. I was ill as a hornet, overwhelmed, and the baby barely fit in my overflowing cart.<\/p>\n

I illegally grabbed some paper towels from a closed aisle and went to check out. My cart was so full I was having to put bagged items on the floor and back in the cart that wasn\u2019t even empty yet. I knew I was going to need another cart to hold everything, and another set of hands to push it to my car in the pouring rain.<\/p>\n

And there he was, a man in his 60s got behind me in line as I frantically loaded the conveyor belt. He said, \u2018Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Amen!\u2019 I said throwing corn dogs on the counter.<\/p>\n

\u2018Looks like you\u2019re going to need another cart,\u2019 he said and nodded to his own. His cart only held one t-shirt.<\/p>\n

Who needs a cart for one t-shirt!? It was like manna straight from Heaven.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019m going to push it to your car, too. Don\u2019t say no. Don\u2019t rob me of my blessing.\u2019<\/p>\n

I nearly cried right there. I needed a cart. I needed someone to push it. And despite my horrible attitude all morning, the Lord provided it.<\/p>\n

I paid for my two carts of groceries and said, \u2018I\u2019m buying that t-shirt.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018No. You\u2019re not doing that.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Don\u2019t rob me of my blessing,\u2019 I said.<\/p>\n

I pushed the full cart to my car, and he followed behind with the other one. The rain poured and the tired baby fussed as I strapped her into her seat, and he loaded the things into my car.<\/p>\n

\u2018God calls us to be His disciples,\u2019 he said as he pushed cantaloupes and ice cream into every square inch of my cargo space.<\/p>\n

We talked about the Lord and His goodness and before he walked away, he said, \u2018I\u2019ll see you again. If not on this earth, then in Heaven.\u2019<\/p>\n

Yes, you will, good sir.<\/p>\n

Yes, you will.\u201d<\/p>\n
