Day 152: 30 seconds

I came walking out of Walmart in the late evening, a bag in my hand, ready to head home. It was chilly but not horribly cold like it has been. A young guy was walking toward me, probably in college. It was a split second decision, but I stopped him to ask my question.

He paused in the typical way people do when asked that question, and then he said yes. It was yes with a bit of eagerness. So I prayed for him there, just outside the front doors of Walmart. A moment later I was stepping away. I thanked him, and he, with a big smile on his face, told me he really appreciated that.

It took about 30 seconds. But it made me feel better about how I used this day.
