It’s ok to do that once in a while just so long as it doesn’t become a habit. I was just about to start to eat my meal when a mother and her daughter walked came in the door. The little girl was so cute and happy. She reminded me of when my own daughters were that age. The mother quietly stated to her child that they couldn’t spend too much because she didn’t have much money. The little girl was very well behaved and didn’t raise a fuss about. “That’s ok, Mommy.” She said. The mother ordered a small burger, fries, and drink off the value menu. The daughter happily carried the tray over to the booth behind me. She had a smile on her face that would light up a room.
I looked down at double whopper with cheese, medium fries and apple pie in front of me on the table and suddenly I didn’t feel that hungry anymore.
I turned around and said, “Excuse me, Maim. I think I ordered too much by mistake. Do you think you and your daughter might want this? I don’t want to have to throw away good food.”
I spoke using my regular male voice, just I always do. For me there is no reason for concealing who and what I am.
“God bless you.” The mother said as I handed her my tray.
The daughter said a very sweet and polite “Thank You.”
As I got up and was just about to leave I heard the child ask her mother “Mommy was she a woman or a man?”
“Never you mind” answered the mother.” That was a nice person.”
What’s the lesson here: As wars are won one battle at a time so too are hearts changed one person at a time.
