i need to vent

one of my kids canceled today because of a doctor's appt. so i thought- sweet, i'm doing my grocery shopping early! i head over to the store and la di da i'm walking towards the door & i see an elderly man with a cane lose his balance & literally fall pretty bad off the curb.

i immediately run over to him and look around to see if anyone else is coming to help. there are several people all around looking, but NO ONE comes over. not a single person. what the hell are you doing that's too important to take a minute to help an old man off the ground? my gosh. i tried to help him up & walk him to his car & literally almost fell down 3 times bc all of his weight was on me. he was all disoriented & stuff. FINALLY another WOMAN comes over & helps me with him on the other side. we get him to his car & i go in to buy him a water. i'm thinking surely when i come back out other people will be over there making sure he's ok. um, nope. he's all alone. people disappoint me. the males in that parking lot dissapoint me. i can't believe what i witnessed today. makes me want to pray even more for people to know Christ and learn to love their neighbors as themselves.
