Motto of the day

I was at the counter of a large bakery, buying bread rolls and cake. Only one staff member was in charge of selling at the counter, she had a lot to do. I had already been waiting for 10 minutes. An older woman came into the bakery well after me. When it was my turn and the shop assistant asked: Who's next? The older lady pushed her forward. I felt a real anger inside me, but didn't want to insist on my rights. I asked myself about our motto for the day: ‘Do what needs to be done NOW!’ I felt the impulse inside me: Pray for this woman. I did it. When it was my turn, I joked a little with the shop assistant and praised her for her enthusiasm. As I often buy from this bakery, she knew me and said: ‘It's always nice when you come!’
