“Making FRIENDS with Those Waiting in Line”

Oct 6th “Making FRIENDS with Those Waiting in Line”

Today’s Good Word – Encourage

One, never knows where one will be to offer “Hope and Encouragement” and then be able to build up confidence in another human being.

If you are a “Watcher” of people – study the behavior of one another?

You would almost believe, that we were “Aliens” as our general approach is hostile!

The other evening, at the FedEx Store, to ship a package, the lady next to me ask the attendant, if there was a cheaper price for shipping this “Box of Goodies” for Halloween to her daughter and college dorm friends?

Whenever, I’m in earshot of hearing a discount request… I just love to put my two-cents worth of information in the pot?

So, I just said, if you remember the old “Famous-Barr” stores, giving double stamps on Tuesday… some kind of discount helps to buy more?

I continued with telling her, that when my son was in the Navy, and for a Christmas treat for him, and to whoever he would want to share with – I would have the Famous-Barr Store send… a case of Fortune Cookie boxes and a case of other sweets, for him and all others to enjoy!

With this store discount, and no tax since this shipment went to the Service men and women aboard the USS Ranger (CV/CVA-61) … I was able to ship more often.

We struck up such a good conversation about doing more shipping to help build up the morale amongst our kids and those that they are associated with, it seemed as if we were family.

Our conversation was enjoyed by others waiting in line, their faces were happy – not gloomy looking – so… at least everybody’s wait in line was inspired.

When the other lady was leaving, we ended our conversation… just as if we were family, we will be seeing you, again!
