This week is arranged a little differently for me. Because there is no Bible Study on Wednesdays, I'm able to blog today. I couldn't yesterday because I was out Christmas shopping with my mom and sisters. We had a really fun day, they are great company and fun to be around. Now, if I could just make my Christmas shopping list, I could start figuring out how I'm doing.
One thing that is accomplished for the most part is my card writing and sending. I originally thought that four boxes would be plenty, so when I found a card I really liked at Wal-Mart in November, I bought them. But after sending all those out, it was time for a refill. I headed back to Wally World last week looking for the same card, but expecting it to be all gone.....I was right on that count. I remember seeing another one I liked as well, so I'd try to find it. After I went through all the "inspirational" card boxes that could be reached, I looked up to the top shelf and, of course, there was another box, just out of my reach. I could barely get my fingers on it as I pushed it gingerly from side to side, as I stood on my tippy toes. I had finally been able to ascertain the fronts of three of the four rows of cards from my vantage point, but just needed to see that front box on the inside right row. Just as I almost could see it, the whole box came down on me, sending boxes of inspirational cards all over the ,thankfully, empty aisle. As the Wal-Mart clerk came to help and see if I was okay, I told her that I was and that I'd get it all back together, no help from her was necessary. And as I got a good look at the final card that I was trying to see, I told her that I found just what I was looking for, to which she responded, "well, I'm glad of that". It is a beautiful card with a perfectly inspirational message for those who receive it.
It's time for me to finish up my decorating, do some laundry, some cleaning and then bake some more cookies for tonight's Christmas Program at church. It is so wonderful to have my little country church just up the road. Just minutes to get there and minutes to get back home.
I hope you're getting everything checked off your Christmas To-Do List. And take some advice, if you see something you need on the top shelf at the store, ask for help. Stay safe, stay warm and have a great day! luv, Susan
