Stopping at Aldi this morning, I saw one of my water aerobics buddies with a fully laden cart. She said her husband, who has MS, had just gotten out of the hospital. She had parked the van quite far from the store so her husband could wait in a shady spot.
So I told her, "I'll stay with your cart here so that you can get the van without dragging all this stuff around, and then when you come back we can load your van up."
While I was waiting for her to return, a stranger pulled up. "I saw that lady with the really full cart," he said. "She has three heavy bags of top soil there. Can I help you?"
By then my friend was returning, and she was so touched to have two people helping her load her car. Her husband had a big smile, and we chatted a few minutes. It was only when we were done I noticed our helper's "Trump: Make America Great Again" hat.
God bless him. His hat embodied who he was, because the real way we "make America great" is helping our neighbors and those in need.
