One day, when I went shopping with my wife Julie, we came across something special. Waiting in a long checkout line, I thought about going to another, which had the shortest queue. There was only one guy in it, but he was in a wheelchair. Well, we stepped in behind him. At last, he seemed to be having difficulty getting his groceries onto the checking deck. But after a while, I realized that what he was actually doing was separating them into two piles.
However, doing that job was no easy task in itself. I offered to help, but he and the checkout lady had it under control. He asked Julie if she would mind putting his empty basket away. What must it be like, I wondered, to be dependent on other people like that? The checkout operator came around and gave him his change and the items he needed to have to hand. She hung one bag of groceries over a handle at the back of his chair. I offered to get the other bigger bag and he said, “No. But you could do me a favor. Take that lot along to the entrance and give it to a girl named Angela.”
As I was told, I did that, leaving Julie with our shopping. Angela, as it turned out, was collecting food for people who might otherwise go hungry! I hadn’t even noticed her before. This guy had bought more than twice as much shopping as he needed--and given the bigger bag away to help other people! He didn’t let the fact that he needed help stop him from being a help. He may have been limited physically, but his heart was more than capable of overcoming all that. And it changed my idea of dependence when I realized that the help he had given was more than the help itself.
