Christmas Kindness

The other day I had cause to go to a craft store to seek a solution for hanging a picture in such a way that it could either hang on a wall or be leaned against a wall or a backdrop.

The craft person, who was responsible for the  displaying and framing of images, instantly came up with an elegant, cost-effective  solution.   The solution totally met my needs.   However, when I asked her, “How much do I owe you?”, she replied “Nothing … have a great day.”

I was somewhat stunned by this but managed to stammer “Thank you … and Merry Christmas to you.”

I walked out of that store with a smile on my face and have since told this story a number of times.

One thing is for sure … that store has a customer for life.   It’s amazing what a little kindness can do.
