What if I failed at the Post Office?

By Lynne Cory                                        True Story

What if I rushed into the post office to ask for the mail in my post office box which I have had for 30 years and found myself fifth in line? At the counter was a rather raggedy looking, 30’ish woman attempting to mail two letters that seemed very important for 75 cents each, but she had no money and was asking them to use her credit card which would not go through for $1.50 so she asked to try two separate transactions but even at 75 cents there was no success and she left feeling embarrassed and disappointed. What if I just stood there like a dummy when I could have run to my car and easily gotten $1.50 to help her?

What if all of us that day were in the presence of an angel testing our compassion and kindness and we all failed?
