I went to Costco with Josh this morning. I had a few things to get and didn’t stray too much from my list (that doesn’t happen too often)!<\/p>\n
We were in the check out line and I saw a lady I have seen around town. She has 3 boys and was taken by the fact that I had 6 boys. I don’t know where we first saw each other but greet each other when we do.<\/p>\n
She was in line ahead of me… her three sons in the cart. The oldest is 5, then 4 years old and the baby was 2 years old.
They were getting anxioius to get out of there cart. People are looking, the teller is making facial expressions I have seen too often… she asks the mom… “Are they all yours? “<\/p>\n
The mom says yes… and the teller continues “or do you get paid to do this?”
People are looking … the teller is still acting out.<\/p>\n
I smile. I wonder what the teller would say if she knew I had 6 sons. She comments on Josh… “Today must be busy children day…’ <\/p>\n
As I wait for the exit person to check my reciept… I feel like I should ask this mom if she want to get together sometime.
OK God, are you telling me to do this? If she is there, where I can see her in the parking lot, I will stop.<\/p>\n
As I get outside I scan the busy lot… nope… not in sight.<\/p>\n
Then I get to my lane where we are parked. She is there… 2 cars away.<\/p>\n
Hum.<\/p>\n
I stop … we chat. Would you like to get together sometime?
She smiles… we chat and I give her phone number. I write on a McD french fry baggy.
I learn that she is a single mom with her three lovely boys.<\/p>\n
I wonder if she will call.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
