Earlier this week I was having coffee at Edgar's, a little place I have been going to for muffins I don't need. They have the most delicious home baked muffins, sandwiches and coffee. Of course I prefer the pumpkin or their new raspberry/white chocolate muffin with their light roast coffee. While I was waiting for my order, a little girl about four years old came up the counter and tried to ask the clerk for something. He didn't understand her and neither did I. I thought she wanted a napkin or a stir stick. She ran crying back to the table she shared with her Grandparent's. They were at a loss as to what she wanted other than she was embarrassed because she wasn't understood. I told them to tell her I didn't hear very well so she wouldn't be so upset and would come out from under the table and stop crying. They finally figured out it was hand sanitizer that she wanted to use before eating. I had some wet one's I gave the Grandfather for her to use.
She finally settled down and eventually came to my table to return them and tell me thank you. I had found the new bottle of hand sanitizer in my purse and gave it to her telling her it was her own personal small bottle of hand sanitizer for Grandma to carry for her. She ran back to her table so excited that she had her own sanitizer. She and Grandma came back to me and said I had made her day. With her bright red hair and little lavender velour outfit she was excitedly telling me all the pockets she could carry her personal bottle of sanitizer in and could carry it in her backpack to pre-school.
A little $1.00 item meant so much to her and I was delighted to share with her.
Another Christmas Blessing for me.
