Living to Learn Life Lessons
When God said to me years ago……… “Where you are going La’Crease everybody can’t go *ride*. I’m seeing first hand what he meant by that. Testimony coming SOON.                #itsagoodthing
Good Morning!!! I have a QUESTION. Okay….. there is this customer that comes to Walmart everyday. He is the sweetest man you’ll ever meet. You can tell that he has money based on the conversations and his style. Usually when he comes in, he’s looking to buy small end things such as a hammer, or screws. Keep in mind he comes in EVERYDAY knows all the cashiers and floor sales associates. One day I was ringing him up and noticed that he was buying groceries, he never buys them. He had lots of can goods. So me… being me said to him wow… I never remember you buying food, its always other things. He said YES, this is for the HOMELESS not for me. Well, I looked at his items, and they were ALL NO NAME BRAND…. things he certainly wouldn’t buy for himself. I kinda got annoyed because why is it that when people donate to the HOMELESS for FOOD *not items you don’t eat* We tend to buy them NO NAME BRAND FOOD, but when it comes to our family we buy name brand? Is this okay? Is this wrong or right? When we buy name brand food for us, and no name brand food for the HOMELESS are we saying we are better than them. Are we saying,…. WELL AT LEAST IM BUYING THEM SOMETHING TO EAT… I DIDN’T HAVE TO DO THIS? If you are a person who donates or help people, do you buy them things on the SCALE AS YOU WOULD YOURSELF? What are your thoughts on this?
One day the DISTRICT MANAGER came into our store. Now, when he comes the managers clean up and rebuild the store like his guest was JESUS. And its funny because YES, he is the BIG BOSS and its okay for everyone to be on their best behavior…… but when he comes in, he always come and talk to me. LOL LOL He’s a nice looking white guy, so friendly and Arkansas country. LOL We stand and talk for a long time all while the store managers and department mangers stare from a distance and wonder what we are talking about. So, one day he came in and we started chatting, afterwards my boss came over to me and said, why when he come in, he always talk to you? LOL I said because people put on a fake face when the BIG DUDES *GOOD DEEDS* come in, but its the real people who they recognize. 😉
Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you your heart’s desires. – Psalm 37:4
I guess today was a day of Blessings…. done another way by God. It was only when I sat down today at work at the Credit Card booth, I was able to be quiet and see the whole picture in a BLESSING light.
Yesterday at work, I had a older white lady and her care giver a young black gurl to come through my line. They were very friendly, so I asked the young gurl….. how did you become to be her care giver. YES… I ask my customers questions, because I like to learn things about people. She told me that she was waiting to be placed at a hospital which was coming up soon, and in the meantime she became the lady caretaker. I can tell they are very close and very trusting of each other. I asked the young gurl…… how did you know that you’re suppose to take care of the elderly, what was your break through in knowing that you enjoy this work? She looked at me and said… I’m going to share this story with you. She told me that when she was a little gurl, her momma would kill ANTS AND FLIES that was in the house, she said she would SECRETLY take them in her room, and try to nurse them back alive. She said she was very upset with her mother plenty of times for killing them, and she would do her best to bring them back to life. OMG … tears formed in my eyes because she said she knew then that she would take care of people. when she got older Her friends in school and her family would tell her the same thing. Her friends called her the “Bug Girl*. Wow!!! What a Testimony. God has to be smiling down on her. I believe that God plant early in our heads what he wants us to do.
Lately I’ve been thinking about LOVE and how different people accept it. I was talking to someone about it just today, and I came to the conclusion that many people can’t accept LOVE for themselves as you would give to them. Mainly because they don’t feel they deserve it. LOVE is a word that’s so clear to me. I was raised by it, and SHOWN LOVE by my parents and my family. So, I am JAMMED PACKED with LOVE. But it always seem to me that I give it too freely to those who don’t have a clue as to how it works.
What a week this has been. WOW LOL I guess I’ll never know how God has the patience to deal with his kids….. I know for a fact that I’m a handful all by myself……so can you imagine what the rest of the world is like? LOL
I got the memo from GOD HIMSELF
