Shopping Day!

​I am getting myself back to the status quo finally!  I can feel my face again (stress makes my face start to lose feeling which scares me because the feeling I’ve lost in my left arm, hand, leg and foot has never come back).  I went to bed early last night and slept like a log!  I feel ready to go out and do my grocery shopping!

I am excited about what the Lord will do today - it’s going to be an adventure!

Well, I didn’t get to finish this post before I had to go get my daughter to her conditioning camp so I was off to the races and am now done with all the shopping.🙂

I went to Safeway first and nothing terribly interesting happened there.  Took those groceries home and went to pick up my daughter.  Next we went to Target.  I know, I know - I haven’t been shopping at that woke store that supports evil but my daughter had an old (years old) gift card that we decided she should use and be done with it.  On our way there we had the most fun interaction with a road construction worker holding a stop sign.  He had just turned it to stop us and he walked right up to the front of the car, smiled this enormous smile, stuck his tongue out and waved the “hang loose” signal with his free hand.  We laughed out loud so hard!  I rolled my window down and he said “It’s a beautiful day!”  I agreed and then he walked up to my window, asked me if I was ready and turned the sign around and told me to have a nice day.  I fist bumped him as I pulled away and my daughter and I laughed and talked about it the rest if the way to the store.

Third stop was Fred Meyer where I got the rest of the groceries and my daughter searched for an eclectic bunch of small gifts for her friend’s birthday party.  At checkout she didn’t have enough money so the store clerk scanned a coupon for her and got her down a few dollars.  Then she scanned it for my groceries too!

Final stop was the thrift store.  We didn’t find much but I got a few books for my son.  One of my favorite clerks was there - she gave me a huge discount and was so sweet chatting with my daughter.

So I survived my shopping trip and was energized by the kindness of the people we encountered today.  We also saw a couple of bumper stickers on a black car that said iPray and Blessed.  I’m telling you, Christians are everywhere and I have positive encounters everywhere I go.  I can feel the Lord guiding me through every day - even the rough ones.🙂
