Blessed Beyond Measure...
Everyone has a situation that they pray they will never have to encounter. Today I was faced with one. Ethan and I went to the grocery store together this afternoon. It was a normal trip, with a crazy long list. Halfway through the store, with a cart full of groceries, Ethan begins to vomit. Not a little--excorcist style. It was everywhere. Vomit was all over the groceries, in my purse and it covered Ethan from head to toe. The pathetic amount of wipes I had in my purse wasn't cutting it. I called out to an employee that was stocking the shelf down the aisle from me. I explained what had happend and she called for someone with a mop. Another employee comes up and asks would I like her to grab a shirt for him or possibly a beach towel. I left my groceries and scooped Ethan up to take him to the rest room. As I was cleaning him up, someone arrived with the shirt. After cleaning him up, we left the bathroom looking for the cart I had left behind. I was directed to a checkout line where they had unloaded and wiped down all of the groceries (some of them had to have been replaced with fresh ones). I was handed paper towels "just in case". I asked to have the shirt added to the groceries and was told it was a gift to us. We were taken care of in a way I have never experienced. Instead of leaving stressed and frustrated, we left knowing the hand of God was all over us. HEB rocks. I will never shop anywhere else.
