i came to the realization today walking out of wal-mart that we do indeed live in a hurting world...not that it's just full of sin and brokenness, but hurting...sadness...tears, harsh words. What you ask made me realize this after a what seems routine trip to pick up the necessities such as tp, black beans, frozen vegetables...etc...I will tell you
after witnessing a tense interaction btwn cashier and customer, which started over a simple ?, harsh answer, attitude to the max for the next what seemed like an hour, but in reality was 2 minutes(did I mention the part of me that hates confrontation)...and ended with obviously stressed out working mom almost in tears for who knows why and a disgruntled employee with a ultra fake chipper greeting and "have a nice day"...truly I believe it was not the wal-mart or the cashier or the late elementary kid accompanying mom...no, it was the hurt of the world. She was hurting, she took it out on the cashier, now she's hurting more, now my heart is hurting for the realization that it all hurts.
On a lighter note...the black beans were a great addition to my almost, not quite chipotle style burrito and it is always good to have a stock of tp at any time.
