Not a silly story. For most of us, these daily interactions are where the rubber meets the road. And this story is everything I've ever loved about you.
So well said. How many times have I been that person prone to give others a hard time when my time or expectations are disrupted. Lord, please forgive me and help me to treat others as thise created in your image.
(((Kaeley))) We've all been there but few of us honest enough to admit it to anyone but ourselves. And what is really interesting is - when I force myself to make amends, something nice always happens. It's almost as if God's making gold from straw ;-)
This is the best story I have heard in a long time about the need for repentance and compassion. I have been in similar situations where I needed to remind myself how I might make someone feel due to my actions.
I love this post. I can so relate to it! Both aspects. I could tell a few stories like this myself (more of the angry reactions than of the apologies, but a few of those, too). My son works at Costco (he just turned 20). He comes home every day with stories. I know that if he were one of the workers in your story, he would never, ever forget it. Thank you.
Great story!Nothing cleanses the soul more effectively as looking at a situation from the other person's point of view and then admitting you were wrong!
That was the best thing I’ve read in a long time. I can completely see myself in this position, and I can feel the conviction as I read it. That was an ouch and a wow. Great message.
You are not an Italian priest in the Po valley in the 1950s, but this story sounds so much like a Don Camillo story I can practically see the ink line drawings.

A very nice story. I do try to pass along good interactions when I can.

A lovely story and an excellent moral at the end.
