Getting Food or Taking the Time

A few nights ago, we all went to Wal-Mart to fill grocery bags for this week’s service project. We were checking out and I was paying and loading our groceries into our cart. My wife was taking care of our baby boy and our teenage daughter noticed something. Four or five lanes down, a lady in a motorized shopping cart was checking out and having some difficulty. Our daughter went to help her. The next thing we know, she's on her way out to the parking lot to help her load up. She then spent a few minutes just talking with her. It really made me think...which of us truly showed the servant’s heart. Just completing the task of getting groceries or taking the time to make the most of an opportunity to show His love?
