Texas | Those that are out working or trying to be productive that have the capacity to work. And those that are retired etc are also important.
Just wanted to share something that really tugged at my heart. Needed fuel badly while traveling through and stopped at a convenience store. Upon opening the door and stepping inside, there stood a very tiny figure of a lady who greeted me with a smile and a hello. And I mean a tiny, tiny lady. Not going to use definitions or labels of how she may be classified according to height. You can be sure she’s heard it all before. I asked her about a potential purchase in the store and she agreed that my choice of payment was acceptable. While making small talk I told her what all we do as far as farming and raising cattle & horses. What she said next with a bright smile on her tiny face really got me. She looked up at me and said, I’m just a gas station attendant. There was no con on her part. She was used to being put down for her height and then for her job.
I quickly stated that everyone is important. And that I don’t put anyone down for what type job they have. What I said came from the heart and she obviously could tell. How I got out of there without tearing up I don’t know. Everybody plays a part in this world.
