AT WALMART TODAY

 I WAS AT WALMART

AT WALMART TODAY

   I was at WalMart today to return some gifts that I had ordered.  The greeter asked it I had returns and I confirmed that I did.  He asked if he could place a sticker on the package and he directed me to customer service.  I told him that I wanted to pick up a bottle of nail polish before I went to customer service.  He tried to explain about their policy and theft protection, etc.  I explained that I didn't want to stand in the line twice.  The conversation went back and forth for a minute, then, you know me:  it morphed into what we want from God and how to receive it.  I don't remember much about the conversation, since it is second nature for me to steer the conversation to my God.  I do remember we agreed that stomping (and I demonstrated this) and throwing a fit usually results in God either making us wait and adjusting our attitude or just out-right denying our request.  Anyway, that hit a nerve with him, you could see it in his attitude.  We talked a while longer, and I went about my business.

   I bid him goodbye on my way out, when he thanked me for talking with him.  He told me that what I had said went straight to his heart, as it was just what he needed to hear (the answer to a prayer).  WOW  I love this. 

 I exited the store before I realized I hadn't invited him to church, so I went back in and invited him.  He said he attends a different church locally but may come by for a visit.  Once again on my way out the door, I realized he didn't need a church; he needed an answer.  

What about you?  Have you experienced anything like this?  We would love to hear from you.

  1. I try not to speak to people when I am out in public . . . . I usually just mask up , head down and get in and out without being infected . . . I am a hermit forever! Leave me alone
