We met this particular friend from Costco a few years ago. We would see her each weekend putting out some fun sample which we, of course, had to try! That is why one braves the masses at Costco on the weekend, am I right? She would always greet us with a smile, and she loved on our boys so genuinely. I noticed that she kept a smile on her face despite her circumstance, (being wheelchair bound.) She struck me as one of those amazing people who live fully despite limitation. Her can do, go get 'em, full of joy attitude inspired me, and it still does. She's a teacher, and she works at Costco on the weekends! In the months we've known her, we have been blessed by her life in so many ways. Our kids love to go and visit with her, and she always listens with an attentive ear. We've met her husband who she married not too many years ago, and when you get to know her and her husband, you can see just how perfect they are for each other. She went through major hip surgery earlier this year, and she pushed through it with her usual joy and peace. Over the weeks we began to talk more when we would stop by her sample table, and it's been such a joy to get to know her! You never know where God might introduce you to a new friend - it may be at a Costco sample table, but when He does, it's pretty special!
