While in the checkout line at the supermarket, I felt led to pay for an older gentleman’s food; he was in the checkout line in front of me.  I initiated contact with a smile and asked about his day.  He told me that things were OK, elaborated a little and then said that it could be better.  I then told him that I would like to pay for his groceries, he was befuddled but agreed and I then swiped my card.  His face lit up and he thanked me as he proceeded toward the parking lot.  When I was finished  at the register, I too proceeded towards the parking lot.  I encountered  him once again prior to the parking lot and he was choked up and once again thanked me.  I blessed him and told him to have a great day.  Later that afternoon, I received an email from a friend.  She had been at the same supermarket later that day and encountered the same gentleman; his wife is an employee of that supermarket.  He regaled her with the tale of the man in the line behind him who had paid for his groceries earlier that day; he then described my physical appearance.  My friend told the man that she knew me.  As they conversed, the man told her that my purchasing his groceries had been an answer to his prayers from the night before.  She told him that we don’t always see how we touch others lives.  Praise God for His perfect plan!
