While I was shopping a fellow with a large load of grociers caught my eye, and after a few minutes he shared this story about how a stranger’s care had changed his life, at work and beyond. He has run the general store on the island for 37 years.
At first I felt worried, expecting to have to buy a new one or, that this one might be costly to repair.
However, I decided to take it in to the “Apple” shop in Victoria. I was deciding whether
I should go there sooner or do some other errands and go later. Something said to me “go now”
I went in and as I walked into the store, a young man walked out of an office towards me and asked
what he could do for me. I explained the problem and showed him my laptop. He tested a few things,
and finally found that the connecting plug, which I use all the time as my master switch is in another room,
wasn’t working. He replaced it at a reasonable cost and then asked me when I had left S.Africa. He is also
from there. We began chatting and found we had left around the same time, at the height of apartheid. We agreed
upon our beliefs about the apartheid system and discovered we had been born and educated in the same
town. He told me he is the owner of the business here.
It was a pleasure to talk to him, and I was so grateful for the simple and inexpensive resolution of what I thought might be a big problem with my laptop and the demonstration of One Mind in control.
My dad was feeling sad. He lost his wife a couple years ago and has been living in a nursing home since September. He doesn’t have much to do, and hasn’t even wanted to leave the home, even to visit his family, or his former residence. This is not right. I wanted to help. So I brought him to our home a couple times, for 30 minutes, as test runs. Then my husband and I took him to lunch at his former retirement home.
WOW! What a reception! So many people greeted him, hugged him, talked to him, and said how much they missed his laughter, songs, and cheerful attitude. We went downstairs to visit his friend, the hairdresser, and she had time to trim his hair. He stayed for the whole 45-minute choir rehearsal, singing and loving every minute of it. He looked younger, more relaxed. It was wonderful for him to be involved in that kind of normal activity!. He may not remember this day for long, but it happened, and I was glad to have been a witness.
You are doing a wonderful job, Christopher. You are making a difference in others’ lives. Thank you for your enthusiasm and courage!
