Library interactions

My eyes moved along the books quickly, searching for a specific title. I found the title quickly and a brief smile ran across my face. My joy of finding the title caused me to spin quickly, but I did not expect to come face-to-face with a woman. My surprise caused me to stumble backwards but I quickly regained my balance. "May I help you?" I said simply. "Yes, would you please help me find a book of baby names?" The woman spoke with a thick Nigerian accent and I took note of the baby in her arms, the toddler in her stroller and her swelling pregnant belly. I smiled at the children and said "I'll do my best" and managed to track down the section of books she was looking for. She smiled with pride at her children and I knew that this woman was honorable. Lord thank you for this woman.
