John and I like to shop at our local grocery store, instead of going to Wal-Mart. It's a little more expensive and their selection isn't as extensive, but it feels good to know that we are supporting a business other than the mega-mart. And while we're there, if we are lucky, we are helped by Caleb.
Caleb is an expert at customer service. He bags our groceries and takes them to our cars for us, a trip that takes only a couple of minutes. But in those few minutes, Caleb is able to leave a lasting impression. He is always smiling, and he always has an encouraging word for his customers.
It's just not possible to have an encounter with Caleb and not walk away smiling. Do you know anyone like that? If so, I am sure you agree with me that it makes the sun shine a little brighter and makes my troubles seem a little lighter. We need more Calebs in this world. And it is a good reminder to BE one.

Stacie, I agree completely! I try to shop at our neighborhood grocery store whenever I can. Walmart is quite alluring with it's low low prices, but I cn always find a way to go the neighborhood route first.
ReplyDeleteAnd as for your Caleb, I have several people in my life who never fail to make me smile and lift my spirits. They are PRICELESS!
