I was standing in a line at Walgreens...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The littlies and I parked in the pick up lane and I called the # provided, the attendant told me the order wasn't ready yet, I kindly explained it was no problem and that I would just come down and grab it so that I wouldn't have to take my littlies out of the house again (moms you understand the in/out of car seats). I put the little one in the baby carrier & covered her up, placed the mask on my oldest as she held my & I asked her not to let go of mom's hand. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As I stood in line the cashier became a little confused with my online order and now my in store purchase. I explained my situation and as I looked back the line had now wrapped around, the only thing I could do was apologize to all who waited. I asked the cashier to take care of the growing line and that I would wait. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A lady stood in line eyes gazing at my littlies and me, beyond the mask I could see her piercing eyes rolling back as I apologized. I don’t know if maybe she was on break and I was using her valuable minuets, maybe she had an important meeting to get to, perhaps it was none of those but something triggered her annoyance with a stranger and two young children. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I share this story wit you today just say this, not all days are chipper and sunny or lets go skipping down the sidewalk kind of days, however now more than ever it’s the little things we do daily that form habits. In order to show love we must practice love even when its inconvenient. How will you use the precious moments of your day to bring a little more love into a world that so badly needs positivity? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So now I ask you, how have you shown love today?
