Carol Perkins: Invisible Customers

Previous Column: Store Bought

By Carol Perkins

We were back in Glasgow from an appointment in Gallatin before I noticed that my purse was gone. Panic fell like fog. I had left it in a cart at Wal-Mart. When I told Guy, his only comment was, "I guess we'll have to go back." BACK meant another three-hour round trip.

As he drove, I dialed every number I could find for customer service, deli, technical department, and pharmacy, but no one answered. It's a good thing I gave up. Once back, I dashed inside, and luckily, two cart attendants stood inside the door. One of them said they had turned in a small bag to customer service. "Oh, thank you so much," I said.

I rushed to customer service to see a line and a single server. However, there was a person behind a computer without customers. "Excuse me," I said as I made my way to her, assuring others I wasn't breaking line. "I want to see if my purse is here."

Deepest wounds frequently invisible

Saloma Baptist Church senior pastor Bro. John Chowning shared an article from fellow pastor, Paul Prather. A quote, "... This week, perform an act of mercy for the distracted, the cranky, the brittle--even for the apparently serene.

The deepest wounds frequently are invisible. That person in front of you may be doing well just to be standing there."
