Okay so I totally hate, with a capital H... going to the grocery store alone! Especially when Ty is in one of his moods. Well I just needed like 3 items, since I am feeding the missionaries tonight! Well it was a fight like always, he finally got the point and stayed in the cart until we were checking out, then he saw the gum ball machine! So as we are going out the door he asked mom can I get a toy... as he is climbing out of the cart, I said yes since you settled down, and stayed in the cart while we finished shopping. Well this cute little old lady must have been watching me all through the store comes and holds on to my cart as I finish getting Ty out, and says can I help you? It looks like you have your hands full. Well at first this is always embarrassing. So I said sure, thanks while I helped Ty she held onto the cart so Shay wouldn't roll away. Then as we are walking out Ty wanted to be held, she said that's okay I would love to help you to your car. Again me thanking her she walks slowly with us to our car. (I did mention she was an old lady right?) I get Ty buckled in, and settled, get my grocery's out of the cart, and then get Shay's car seat out. She looked at me and said its okay, you have an active boy but one day he is going to turn and be the best little boy ever! So keep your head up, don't get to down on those tough days. I gave her a big hug and said thank you so much! She said here put here in and I will take back the cart. Wow okay could she tell I was on the verge of tears? Or did the Lord send her my direction to uplift me, so I wouldn't be so upset with my little 3year old? She was so sweet and yes her eyes did shine! She truly was my angel sent to me the day I needed it most! Thank you Heavenly Father!
