Warm Welcome

I met an honest shopkeeper today. He runs a simple shop, nothing fancy, it is the kind that sells bread and milk and other basic necessities. Upon entering his shop he greeted me with a warm smile. I asked him if he had a certain food product I was after and he, with enthusiasm and a helpful action, went looking for it. He found my item and offered it to me with a friendly smile. It was reasonably priced and I paid him the money.


During the whole transaction the shopkeeper displayed such a caring and helpful attitude it was the kind of service you seldom see today. His smile was from the heart. His actions warm. His customer happy. It is all such a simple thing really but it stood out in my mind. How many people have been kind, caring, and warm with you today? In an often cold world when we meet a person with a warm heart the individual stands out a mile.
