Editor: The Christmas spirit was already showing itself to us, and this took place even before December arrived.
On Wednesday, Nov. 30, we were shopping in Costco in 91原创 and had a wonderful thing happen to us.!
We are in our 70s. We were in line at the cashier, when my wife commented to the young lady who was ahead of us that the poinsettias she was buying were beautiful.
This young lady said these were the smaller ones, and that the store had much larger ones also. My wife Gerry said 鈥淵es, I saw the big ones, but I didn鈥檛 see any this size or I would have bought one.鈥�
Now that we were next in line to check out, she told her that we鈥檇 have to come back and get one after we checked out. After we had checked out, she decided not to bother going back in.
We were in the parking lot loading up our car, when this young lady who had been in line ahead of us came up to Gerry and handed her this beautiful red poinsettia.
She said 鈥淭his is for you. Merry Christmas and God bless you.鈥�
Now this caught us both speechless, as we had never laid eyes on this young lady before, and we sure didn鈥檛 know who she was. Gerry explained, 鈥淢y goodness, you don鈥檛 have to do this. I can buy my own, but I thank you, you are a real dear soul, and a very Merry Christmas to you also.鈥�
To this the young lady said, 鈥淚 bought a number of them so I would have them to give away in the spirit of Christmas. So it is yours and may you have a very Merry Christmas.鈥�
Gerry and I both thanked her and before we knew it she was on her way, and we didn鈥檛 even get a chance to find out who she was.
One thing I have to say is this 鈥� that young lady made our day. With all that is going on right now, it is just wonderful of her to show us that there is still some people who know the real meaning of Christmas.
I wish we knew who she was so we could show her how much her act of kindness means to us, and I pray that God will bless her as she has been a blessing to us. Merry Christmas, and may we find peace on Earth.
Gerry and Jim Glavin,
