You are the Light
Last week, I was shopping at Aldi in intensely h.o.t. weather. As I was sweatily putting groceries into my car, another vehicle parked right next to me. A lady jumped out of the passenger seat and came up to me. “Can I have your cart?” she asked, holding out 25 cents in exchange. “Oh, sure!”…
