Love and Grace In The Walmart Checkout Line
I’d never been in the food section of our local Walmart. Until noontime yesterday.
Using one of those person-less, scan, pay and bag your own groceries checkouts, I was confused over where to put the credit card; where to scan the groceries, and needed help from a marginally friendly Walmart ‘Associate.’
Focused on task, I suddenly felt the presence of someone behind me in the checkout line.
Almost a premonition.
I turned.
A beautiful young woman, about 30, with crystal blue eyes, was standing there.
Dressed in a modish hat and long skirt – like Mia Farrow or Diane Keaton in a Woody Allen movie.
She smiled.
I thought: ‘If I’m dead and gone to heaven, Lord, let her be my guardian angel.’
My eyes traveled from her eyes to an oversized badge on her green and white-tinged, herringbone coat.
The badge read:
SISTER PAVOLA
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
I turned back to scan the cat food, bread and peanut butter.
And ran a free hand thru the balding spot on the back of my head.
