A Wal-Mart store in South Chicago on a Sunday morning.
A quick run to get a couple of things for breakfast as the day begins.
Yes, in a hurry. But there's this woman.
An early morning employee, she's trying to get the carts to stack properly. But when she pushes the last one to the front, the rest move uncontrollably.
A look of frustration. It's not the first attempt.
A voice. Do something.
Two seconds holding the first keeps them from moving away.
Two seconds and the work is done - the carts are lined up.
A woman smiles and says "Now THAT'S what I'M talking about!"
This story is six years old and seems to be unforgettable. It was just a few seconds of life and yet still carries a lesson. It says, "listen." It says, "small things." It says, "by this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." John 13:35.

Perfect moments these are eh Mike. Precious moments intended for how it should be and for how we are to act and be. Love it. These moments of warmth I have found to be priceless. Listening to that push to do something and then doing it......priceless results.....priceless just like God and His Son Jesus.
