Even in Walmart

I was in Walmart grocery shopping with the wife last night.  We were in the frozen foods section and the wife picked out the 2 frozen lunches that she wanted and told me to pick mine out.  I reached into the case picked out the ones that I wanted and as I pulled them out one of the other boxes fell off the shelf inside the case.  I put the ones I picked out into the cart and reached back into the case picked up the box that had fallen, fiddled with it to get it back onto the shelf and as I closed the door, it fell again.  By this time the wife was halfway down the isle and little frustrated, I said "I'm tried, I'm done" and started to walk away.  That's when it happened, I heard a small still voice as plain as day that said "So let's not get tired of doing what is right."  I tried to shake it off as I headed down the isle but heard it several more times until I turned around and went back.  I retreived the box from the bottom of the freezer case and made sure it stayed on the shelf this time.  I've never had this happen before, the voice was in my head, but it was as plain as if someone had been standing beside me whispering in my ear.  God cares about how we act when no one is looking, even if we are just buying groceries in Walmart.
