OK SO I WAS BOARD AT WORK AND FOUND THIS ON MY BROTHERS MYSPACE BLOG ITS IT THE BEST ITS JUST THE WAY I FEEL ABOUT PRE TEEN ADN KIDS TODAY. THAY ARE ALL LAZY COMPARED TO "OUR STANDARD " ( WHEN I SAY OUR STANDAERDS I AM TALKING ABOUT THE KIDS WHO REMIMBER THE FOLLOWING:) THEY ARE UNGRATEFULL AND THINK THE WORLD OWES THEM SOMETHING. THE THING THAT SET ME OFF THIS TIME WAS OVER THE WEEKEND I WENT SHOPPING WITH MY MOM AND SI AND MY 12 YEAR OLD SISTER HAS A NEW CELL PHONE AND IT WAS ATACHED TO HER LIKE A THIRED ARM, NOW BEFOR I GO ANY FERTHER I NEED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WHENI WAS GROWING UP I WAS SOOOOOO EXCITED TO BE SURPRISED TO GET A CELL PHONE FOR MY >>>>>> 15TH BIRTHDAY AND EVEN THEN IT WAS BASIC NO TEXT ONLY 100 MIN AND NOT MUCH MORE. AND IT WAS FOR EMERGENCIES ONLY. SO WHEN MY SISTER WHO IS 12 MAY I REMIND YOU HAS ONE AND HAS UNLIMITED MIN AND UNLIMITED TEXT PLUS A VERY NICE PHONE I WAS FLOORED AND UPSET CUZ SHE JUST STARTED 7TH GRADE ON MONDAY. SO I HAD TO DO A DOUBLE CHECK AND ASK WHAT THE CRAP WAS GOING ON. MY DAD SAYS IT A VERY DIFFERENT WORD NOW THAT SHE IS IN SCHOOL AND I WAS SAFER THAN SHE IS. WHICH IS SO NOT TRUE I JUST THINK AFTER MY SISTER BEGGING FOR A FEW YEARS FOR A CELL PHONE DAD BROKE DOWN AND GOT HER ONE.

'Some people!' snorted a man standing behind me in the long line at the grocery store.'You would think the manager would pay attention and open another line,'said a woman. I looked to the front of the line to see what the holdup was and saw a well-dressed young woman, trying to get the machine to accept her credit card. No matter how many times she swiped it, the machine kept rejecting it.'It's one of them welfare card things. Damn people need to get a job like everyone else,' said the man standing behind me. The young woman turned around to see who had made the comment. 'It was me,' he said,pointing to himself.The young lady's face began to change expression. Almost in tears, she dropped the welfare card onto the counter and quickly walked out of the store. Everyone in the checkout line watched as she began running to her car. Never looking back, she got in and drove away.After developing cancer in 1977 and having had to use food stamps, I had learned never to judge anyone without knowing the circumstances of their life. This turned out to be the case today.Several minutes later, a young man walked into the store. He went up to the cashier and asked if she had seen the woman. After describing her,the cashier told him that she had run out of the store, got into her car, and drove away.'Why would she do that?' asked the man. Everyone in the line looked around at the fellow who had made the statement. 'I made a stupid comment about the welfare card she was using, something I shouldn't have said. I'm sorry,' said the man.'Well, that's bad, real bad, in fact. Her brother was killed in Afghanistan two years ago. He had three young children, and she has taken on that responsibility. She's twenty years old, single, and now has three children to support,' he said in a very firm voice.'I'm really truly sorry. I didn't know,' he replied, shaking both his hands about.The young man asked, 'Are these paid for?' pointing to the shopping cart full of groceries.'It wouldn't take her card,' the clerk told him.'Do you know where she lives?' asked the man who had made the comment.'Yes, she goes to our church.''Excuse me,' he said as he made his way to the front of the line. He pulled out his wallet, took out his credit card and told the cashier,'Please use my card. PLEASE!'The clerk took his credit card and began to ring up the young woman's groceries.'Hold on,' said the gentleman. He walked back to his shopping cart and began loading his own groceries onto the belt to be included. 'Come on people. We got three kids to help raise!' he told everyone in line.Everyone began to place their groceries onto the fast-moving belt. A few customers began bagging the food and placing it into separate carts.'Go back and get two big turkeys,' yelled a heavyset woman, as she looked at the man.'NO,' he yelled. Everyone stopped dead in their tracks. The entire store became quiet for several seconds. 'Four turkeys,' yelled the man.Everyone began laughing and went back to work.When all was said and done, the man paid a total of $1,646.57 for the groceries. He then walked over to the side, pulled out his check book,and began writing a check using the bags of dog food piled near the front of the store for a writing surface. He turned around and handed the check to the young man. 'She will need a freezer and a few other things as well,' he told the man.The young man looked at the check and said, 'This is really very generous of you.''No,' said the man. 'Her brother was the generous one.'Everyone in the store had been observing the odd commotion and began to clap. And I drove home that day feeling very American.We live in the Land of the free, because of the Brave!!! Remember our Troops of Yesterday and Today!!!A great example of why we should be kind and patient.Kindness is the language the blind can see and the deaf can hear. May God's many blessings continue to be with you - ALWAYS!!!

MAY THIS KEEP GOING....
IT WILL OPEN A LOT OF EYES,
HOPEFULLY HEARTS,
AND KEEP SOME MOUTHS SHUT.
