Angels Among Us

Today I took my son to the grocery store for a few things, and on the way out he stopped to look at the wreaths and holiday greenery. I looked at the prices and it wasn't something I could do until I got paid, maybe, so I let him look but told him "not today." I don't know if she heard me or how much she saw of us, but as I started to herd my son away a lady approached us and said hi to my son. He told her the wreaths were beautiful, she agreed. Then she asked me if she could buy one for him. I said yes, it would be rude to say no and it was for my son, not me. So we went inside to pay for it.

I was paying attention to my son so he didn't wander off. She handed us the wreath, and then she gave me a $50 gift card for the store. It was so much from a stranger, I was kind of in shock. I asked if there was anything I could do to repay her and she said

"just keep being a good mom."

That just really made my day. Truth is money is kind of tight now. She was a total stranger, she had no way of knowing how much that meant to us. Well, maybe my gratitude was a clue. We came home right away and hung it on the door, and this is the best holiday wreath I have ever had. When I came home from work I loved the smell of pine in the hallway, and just seeing it made me feel warm and light inside. It wasn't just a wreath and a gift card that she gave me, but a much needed blessing of light.

I don't know about angels in heaven, but I know there are angels among us - good people, quietly doing good things for the sake of goodness.
