Open up for the moment!

The stores have just opened. A woman with Asian roots is standing at the dairy refrigeration unit. She reaches for a product on the shelf and can't reach it. My moment! I quickly rush to her, get the whole box from the top to a level she can reach, and joke around a bit. Later in the morning, as I had promised a woman, I go to church to pray for her. On the way, I witness a young man getting totally stuck in the snow with his car. There is no more back and forth. My moment! I get tools from the basement and for over half an hour we clear ice around his vehicle. Then he can drive on. "And what do you get for it?" he asks as we say goodbye. I smile at him and reply, "Do the same when you encounter someone in need!" Gratefully, he drives off.
