The offer of help

I was taking a fairly heavy package into the UPS Store this morning. Nothing I couldn't handle. Yet that should not take away from the young man who made the offer.

He acme over to my van and asked, "Can I help you with that, sir?" My initial reaction was panhandler. But he was in the uniform of a company truck right behind me. I told him no thanks, but that I truly appreciate the offer.

And I truly do. He was by all indications just being nice. I've said a couple prayers for his safety and well being. And I genuinely mean that, as much as I'm sure he meant to help me. We say too much about the negative. We should be positive at least occasionally.
