While sitting in a grocery store parking lot, I learned the everyday lesson of the diligent grocer.
“The Diligent Grocer”
Dr. Ryan N. Mitchell
A disabled man worked as a bagger/cart-organizer.
As I sat in my car, I witnessed him slowly & painfully walk out of the store to the cart-return depository.
With each step he took, he seemed to be more determined to get to the carts.

During this process, he maintained his determination, yet with each cart connection, he appeared more happy.
“The Diligent Grocer”
Dr. Ryan N. Mitchell
As the diligent grocer carefully pulled back the long row of carts and slowly pushed them into the store, he had a glow of accomplishment on his face.
The glow of the disabled, yet diligent grocer was so infectious that I joyfully smiled in response!

As he disappeared into the store, I began to introspectively question how this everyday lesson applied to my life.
I questioned:

Do you exude your maximum effort with your God-given capacity?
Do people see your effort, and are they encouraged by it?
Are you willing to slowly and methodically put one proverbial step in front of the other to accomplish your goals?
