Te midde van \u2019n w\u00eareld waarin ons gebombardeer word met negatiewe, ontstellende, hartseer en sommer partykeer \u2019n \u201chou-in-die-maag\u201d-nuus, het ons al so gewoond geraak daaraan dat elkeen vir homself sorg en die duiwel vir die laaste een. <\/p>\n
Maar, dan gebeur iets wat tog die vlammetjie van hoop op \u2019n beter w\u00eareld aanblaas. <\/p>\n
Daar is nog mense wat getrou is aan die opdrag om lig vir hierdie donker w\u00eareld te wees. En dit wil ek met julle deel.<\/p>\n
Ek het my op Donderdag 1 Februarie in Checkers, Robertson, bevind om te doen wat \u2019n mens gewoonlik daar doen. Dit is die begin van die maand en die koskas is leeg!<\/p>\n
Daardie oggend het ek my p\u00earel-oorkrabbetjies met bypassende hangertjie aangesit. Hierdie juwele was vir my besonder kosbaar omdat dit \u2019n geskenk was van my wederhelf met ons 25ste huweliksherdenking. Ek het op \u2019n tydstip iets hoor val, maar aangeneem dit is geld van die ander klante rondom my wat op die vloer beland het.<\/p>\n
By die kasregister het ek begin uitpak met \u2019n haastige, ongeduldige man wat in my nek geblaas het. Hy kon nie wag dat ek moes klaarkry nie. <\/p>\n
Skielik het ek gevoel iemand klop saggies op my skouer. Ek kyk om en \u2019n vrou vra: <\/p>\n
\u201cHet mevrou dalk \u2019n hangertjie verloor?\u201d<\/p>\n
Ek voel. Dit is nie daar nie.<\/p>\n
\u201cIs dit dalk mevrou se hangertjie?\u201d<\/p>\n
Dit \u00eds myne. Maar, waar en hoe? Terwyl \u2019n warboel van gedagtes deur my kop flits, kan ek net bevestigend antwoord.<\/p>\n
Toe vertel sy dat sy die hangertjie opgetel het, maar sy kon nie sien wie dit verloor het nie. Slim vrou besef toe sy moet dalk iemand soek wat die pasmaats-oorkrabbetjies dra.<\/p>\n
So stap sy deur die winkel en bekyk elke vrou. Met letterlik minute oor sien sy my by die kasregister, waar ek toe al besig was om te betaal. <\/p>\n
Nodeloos om te s\u00ea was ek s\u00f3 dankbaar \u2013 skoon sprakeloos en oorstelp van vreugde dat ek die hangertjie teruggekry het.<\/p>\n
Ons kon nie verder praat nie en ek kon haar net vinnig bedank en haar naam kry. Voordat ek uit die winkel is en my gedagtes agtermekaar was, het ek nog probeer kyk of ek haar sien. Maar, sy was al weer besig om haar pligte as werknemer by Checkers na te kom. <\/p>\n
Ek het wel \u2019n week daarna teruggegaan en haar ontmoet.<\/p>\n
Ek hoop die lesers kan verstaan waarom hierdie gebeurtenis my so aangeraak het, dat ek wil h\u00ea ander moet dit ook hoor of dan daarvan lees.<\/p>\n
Eerstens bly dit \u2019n wonderwerk dat ek dit in Checkers verloor het \u2013 op enige ander plek was dit dalk vir ewig verlore. <\/p>\n
En dat hierdie vrou dit nie in haar sak gesteek het nie \u2013 wie sou dit agtergekom het?<\/p>\n
En dat sy dan nog die moeite gedoen het om my op te spoor!<\/p>\n
Ek moet Checkers ook bedank dat hulle werknemers met soveel integriteit het.<\/p>\n
Hierdie eerlike vrou se naam is Marionette van Thura. Sy maak die w\u00eareld \u2019n beter plek. Sy laat \u2019n mens weer glo in die goeie. <\/p>\n
Sy is werklik \u2019n Spreukevrou: \u201cAlles aan haar spreek van \u2019n sterk en edel persoonlikheid.\u201d<\/p>\n
Weer eens \u2013 baie dankie, Marionette. Mag jy elke dag ryke se\u00ebninge beleef!<\/p>\n
