Shopping Day!

​Good morning!  I just finished my morning devotions.  I am reading through Revelation again and going through J Vernon McGee’s study on it.  My Mom used to listen to him on the radio when I was a kid.  I am really enjoying his insights.

I think I should tell you that my husband really does work hard.  He HAS taken on some extra chores that I can’t do anymore and he’s weary.  It’s a stretch to call him my “caregiver” though.  Especially since he’s a major airline captain and is gone an average of 3 days a week.  But he DOES cook when I don’t have the energy, he does the laundry and he took over the financials which we used to share but math and numbers are difficult for me to get right now.

Today is grocery shopping day!  I enjoy grocery shopping even though it drains me of energy.  I enjoy it because the Lord always finds a way to bring people to me that I can show his love to.  One time I was singing “I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart!” with the guy who brings the carts in from the parking lot at Costco.  I wear my smile and I talk to anyone the Lord brings to my attention and I am blessed every shopping day - even if the only people I talk to are the cashiers.  It just lifts my spirit when I get to spread the love of Jesus.  One time it was my son who showed that love by helping the people behind us empty their carts.  I just never know what’s going to happen and I love surprises!

Yesterday the Lord brought me to the mind of a friend who checked in on me and told me she wasn’t sure why but she suddenly thought of me so she was letting me know that good, bad or indifferent, she was praying for me and my family.  What a blessing!  I wasn’t having a particularly bad or even a particularly good day but I knew the Lord had a reason.  My stomach has been really giving me trouble lately so maybe that’s why.  I will probably never know but isn’t it great when God sends someone to check on you?😃   

Well, I need to load my digital coupons now.  I pray you have as fabulous a day as I imagine mine will be!
