Sweet Little Lady In Sun City
Random Thoughts from the Dream Team

Sistahs,
Let me tell you about this sweet little lady I met in the bathroom of the restaurant in Sun City where we had lunch on Friday after the safari.
You wouldn’t believe the service that little lady gave to those of us who entered her restroom. I call it ”her restroom” because she behaved as though she was serving you in her home. The lady moved with such elegance and demure that I couldn’t believe my eyes. She held the bathroom door open for you as you entered and before you knew it she had opened the stall door, sprayed and wiped the toilet seat, invited you in and when you came out, she politely waved and guided you over to the wash basin, quickly turned on the water and had a hand towel ready to give you to dry your hands.
She did all of this wearing the warmest, softest smile that you’d ever want to see.
Girl, I don’t know how long she has been serving the public in this manner.
You won’t believe how Busy’s gift of giving has caught on to the whole crew. I immediately began searching in my purse and gave her all the rands I had.
I couldn’t wait to share my experience with the others at the table. It turned out that several of us had a similar experience with that sweet little lady.
As you know, Busy has been busy for days, just stopping women and children on the road, doing acts of kindness. Her actions have inspired us to do the same. We decided to combine our money and give this humble little lady a gift from all of us.
We wanted her to really feel special. The group of us ladies went to the bathroom to find her but she wasn’t there. We asked the manager if he could find her for us. He told her that she was off and was on her way home..
Someone ran to get her for us. When she returned she had the biggest smile on her face even though she had no idea why she was asked to return.
When the little lady walked over to our group, Busy embraced her and told her that we all love and appreciate her.
Busy also told her that we wanted to give her a gift. She took her by the hand, placed money into it and squeezed.
Before we said goodbye we asked the little lady and her manager to take a picture with us.
As she hurried away she paused to look to see what we had placed in her hand. When she saw what it was she was overcome with joy. She spun around to face us and with her arms extended as far and as high as they could reach, she shouted, “Thank you, thank you, thank you,” until she was out of our view.

I am so encouraged when I read of this story of how humble this lady was in the restroom of all places. Here in the States, many are treated this way in well to do restaurants and hotels. Why not every where you go , you feel special and appreciated. Of course, we appreciate the love and show our love. The spirit of giving is in all of us, just what will or has to happen in order to show it. I was blessed by this story.

These are indeed 'acts of kindness'. The stories are heartwarming. It is as though I am there witnessing it all. I can't envision experiencing any joy greater than what you have done. I would love to have been a part of it. May GOD continue to bless you.
