So I went for a quick walk to the corner store near me to pick up a couple of things. 

The person who owns the store is an older Muslim man. He’s always been nothing but friendly, to the point of letting me take the stuff I had planned to buy with the promise of paying him back once when my card didn’t work. 

Today I walked in and got my stuff, stepped up to the counter, and started to say hi. Then he turned around, motioned for me to wait a moment, and continued with what he was doing. It was only then I realized he was in the middle of his prayers. 

So I waited at the counter for a few minutes. Then he picked up his mat and put it away, came over, and gave me a free corny dog to thank me for my patience (and because we’re pals).

This is My America, or at least the way I want it to be.

Diversity. Acceptance. Friendship. And bonding over unhealthy fried food.

this is so amazing thank you

This is what America should be. Thank you for sharing this, it’s a nice reminder that there is still good in this world.
