How wholesome and uplifting Manuel! Texans have always struck me as so polite and genuine. That's why it's so confusing to see them continue to elect such hateful leadership. 💔

The paradoxes in life...

Right? Or cognitive dissonance.

Great story. I had not heard of this act of generosity. Wish I would have been in the store when this happened.

You and a lot of others! Have a great day Scott!

It is good to share the positive. The news has been so ugly and heart-breaking this fall that now I am choosing to limit although not to forget the suffering and to try to sow some seeds of peace, justice and healing.

Thank you, I am up very late because my dogs stole chocolate and were ill. I do enjoy Father Rohr and this week I plan to rest and pray and cut back drastically on trying to understand and fix and find solutions. I just came to that conclusion yesterday. I will read this later. Thanks again, Frances Scully

Thank you, Manuel, for that story of hope and generosity and good sense. I love the snowy photo, too.

Thanks for reminding me. HEB is one of the few things I miss about Texas :)

How refreshing! Most people are basically decent when we can get past the veneers that we wear. And some companies are also filled with decent people- they're just relatively few in no. Y E A for this store.

Wow! Remarkable! I love this kind of surprise. I don't have the best opinion of Texas in general but i do know that there are good people and good businesses everywhere. Thanks for highlighting this one. You made me smile on a gray day.
