“Remember, we\u2019re only here for the things on our list,\u201d I told the kids as we walked into Target. The store was brightly decorated for Christmas, full of things to catch the attention of young children like mine, but my husband and I were on a tight budget<\/a>. I settled newborn Bradley, still in his car seat, into the front of the shopping cart and gave it a push.<\/p>\n

Truth be told, I wouldn\u2019t have been shopping at all this December evening if I hadn\u2019t been desperate. Our fourth child had arrived only two and a half weeks earlier<\/a>, and things were crazy at home. If we were going to have any toilet paper, I had to get it now. My husband was still at work, but I thought I could make a quick trip to Target with the kids. What was I thinking?<\/p>\n

\u201cGet off!\u201d Jamie, my eldest, snapped at her younger brother.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not touching you!\u201d Christopher answered, stretching out his finger to almost<\/em> touch her.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s enough!\u201d I said. They\u2019d been fighting like that since we piled into the van. \u201cJamie\u2019s looking at me!\u201d \u201cChristopher is sitting on my seat!\u201d \u201cJeffrey\u2019s kicking me!\u201d At least baby Bradley wasn\u2019t old enough to argue.<\/p>\n

I steered the cart into the paper products aisle, first on the list. I tossed in paper towels and tissues along with the toilet paper. Next stop, laundry detergent.<\/p>\n

Despite my warnings, the older kids were still fussing. I reached for a bottle of floor cleaner and hesitated before dropping it in the cart. You won\u2019t have enough for diapers.<\/em> I put the floor cleaner back on the shelf.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan we go to the toy aisle?\u201d asked Jeffrey.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo,\u201d I said. \u201cSanta is coming soon enough.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll just look,\u201d said Jamie. \u201cWe promise.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease, can\u2019t we?\u201d Christopher chimed in.<\/p>\n

Bradley shifted in his seat. The last thing I needed was for him to get upset. A choir of pleas continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan I get stickers?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCan I get this keychain?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo. And no.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s not fair. How come Jamie gets stickers and I can\u2019t have any?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one is getting anything!\u201d I said. As if on cue, Bradley started to fuss. Then cry. Then wail. I could feel every head in the store turn toward us. I leaned on my cart and told myself to just breathe. Lord, I need your support!<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

I got a move on and turned into the infant care aisle. We headed for the diapers. Jamie tossed a sippy cup into the cart. \u201cIt\u2019s for Bradley,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTake that out,\u201d I ordered, raising my voice over the baby\u2019s crying.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut he likes it.\u201d She reached into the cart to fish it out and wave it in front of the baby\u2019s face. Her brothers followed her lead, grabbing things off the shelves to see if Bradley showed interest. Bradley cried harder.<\/p>\n

\u201cStop!\u201d I sputtered. \u201cPut it all back right this minute.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut Mom\u2026!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe baby needs\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI want\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCan we get\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s touching me!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s enough!\u201d I said. My mom voice got the kids\u2019 attention. \u201cEveryone settle down.\u201d I lifted Bradley out of his seat and rocked him gently to soothe him.<\/p>\n

Over Bradley\u2019s head I noticed a middle-aged lady approaching me. Here it comes,<\/em> I thought. She was going to complain about my unruly children. Maybe ask me to take the crying baby outside. Or at least demand that I get my family under control. I braced for the worst.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was a young mom like you once,\u201d the woman said. Her tone was warm and friendly, nothing like the judgmental scold I was expecting. \u201cIt is so hard when you have little ones.\u201d She looked around at the children, who, for the moment at least, had stopped fussing and fighting. \u201cI really commend you for being brave enough to come to the store with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

She really does understand.<\/em><\/p>\n

The woman pulled something out of her purse. \u201cEach year at Christmastime I carry a small gift for someone God picks out. Today he\u2019s chosen you for a simple blessing<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

She put a white box in my hand, then turned and walked away. The kids circled around me. I was too stunned even to say thank you before the woman left the baby aisle.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is it?\u201d Jeffrey asked. His tone was hushed. The other kids didn\u2019t say a word. Even Bradley\u2019s cries petered out. I opened the box. Inside was a little ornament to hang on the tree. Jamie held it up so they could all admire it. I bounced the quieted baby in my arms. A blanket of peace<\/a> seemed to have settled on us all.<\/p>\n

The children were model citizens in the checkout line and on the van ride home. Their dad was surprised I\u2019d managed with our brood in tow. \u201cIt\u2019s quite a story,\u201d I said. We hung the ornament low enough so everyone could see it.<\/p>\n

That ornament still has a special place on my tree today. Every year, my grandchildren ask me to tell the story of the long-ago shopping trip when their parents were children like them. They sit quietly listening to every word, while the Christmas blessing from an angel<\/a> at Target touches a whole new generation of kids and their young parents.<\/p>\n
