I am sitting here at my work right now (on lunch) and I am listening to a song called "He will Carry me" by Mark Schultz. Such a wonderful song. It got me thinking about the many blessings that God gives me each day:
- A wonderful family whom I love dearly
- My health
- A roof over my head
- A wonderful job (which ends January 6th because of Christmas Kettles being over) and the blessing that I have a job to go after that is over (At the college that I go to..well..not the right campus..but its closer to my house)
- Wonderful friends
Overall he gives me a reason to smile each day!
A wonderful story about his many blessings happened yesterday....
It all started yesterday when my friend picked me up after work and we went for a drive and talked. That was really nice and it was relaxing after a long day (payroll for 8 hours straight). and he gave me a Christmas gift which was a plaque that has the verse "3 John 1:2 "Dear friend I pray that everything may go well with you" That made me very happy because the plaque is beautiful and it is a very nice scripture too.
Anyways, after that he dropped me off at Reitmans so I could buy something with my gift certificate I got for Christmas (i was getting something for a formal i am going to on Friday) and it was worth 20 dollars..the subtotal was under 20 and it had to be 20 and over, which i did not know. so anyways, I had to pick something else and hope that it came to a LITTLE over 20..well it came to 24 something (1 pair of striped socks and 1 pair of earrings at 1.99 a piece and then a sweater) and I had the 20 and maybe a few dollars in my bank account. So we did a transaction to pay for the 4 dollars with my bank card, well it didn't go through because of insufficient funds..so they put 2 dollars on it..so it went through. I was a little worried because I didn't have ANY cash on me and so I called my mom to see if she could come rescue me but she was in bed with a migraine (she had gotten up early that day because of my grandpa). so she couldn't come rescue me, which was fine, she needed to rest.
So I told the lady that I would have to come back the next day to get it, ahd she said "you know what? Merry Christmas. I'll pay the difference" She was so nice to pay the extra 2 or so dollars. I said "God Bless you" and I left the store smiling so widely. It was so nice of her to do that.
God is so good!

Good to know there's still nice people kickin' around in Vancouver.
But... why not put the earrings back if you didn't have the extra $2?
I can imagine you smiling on your way out with that big contagious grin of yours.
Happy New Year!
Hey there Haven
I could not put the earrings back because before getting those earrings the total would have been 19.98 and i had to spend at least 20 dollars and over, or else the gift certificate would not go through. So even though it was 2 cents short, I had to get those earrings (it was the cheapest thing they had it was from clearance)
Great Blog God does give wondrful blessing. Just think about what Capt Dave spoke about on Sunday about counting our blessing. God has blessed you in many ways.
"(1 pair of striped socks and 1 pair of earrings at 1.99 a piece and then a sweater)"
Didn't you get a pair of socks and a sweater too?
Haven-
Yes I did get a pair of socks and a sweater too.. I had the sweater and earrings first, that came to 19.98 and I had the certificate for 20 and it had to be 20 or over...so i was 2 cents short of the 20 it required..so i had to add something to it..so she told me to add the cheapest thing there which was the socks at 1.99
