Two Words That Can Change a Life
"As I walked into the parking lot, I spotted the woman returning her shopping
cart, and I remembered something in my purse that could help her in a different
but hopefully profound way. It wasn't a handful of cash or a lead on a job for
her husband, but maybe -- just maybe -- it would make her life better. My heart
pounded as I approached the woman. "Excuse me," I said, my voice trembling a
bit. "I couldn't help overhearing what you said to the cashier. It sounds like
you're going through a really hard time right now. I'm so sorry. I'd like to
give you something." And I handed her a business-sized card. When the woman read
the card's only two words, she began to cry. And through her tears, she said,
"You have no idea how much this means to me."" Cheryl Rice shares more in this
piece about the two simple words that touched her life and then rippled out to
touch many others.
