Use Kindness & Patience Black Friday

Here is a Pay It Forward to all Store clerks, checkers, personnel and workers that have to deal with the public on 'Black Friday'. Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for helping us. Thank you for smiling and being quick on your feet.

Sure Mr. or Ms. Shopper, you have reason to be onery after staying up most of the night trying to get a bargain at all the places you can. You have waited in long lines and missed out on great deals. Maybe you got more than you ever hoped you would. Hurray for you.

Perhaps the whole family ventured out and you got all your Christmas shopping done. Way to go! The workers at each store didn't get to do the same. They have to work and are being as kind, patient, helpful and going above and beyond all they can to please the YOU, the general public.

Better yet, just stay home to get all the sleep you want. Have a yummy breakfast. Take your last bike ride or walk in the park while the days are a mild 50 or 60'. Enjoy your loved ones and day off from work. It really isn't worth all the hassle. That is what I am going to be doing and lovin' every minute of it!

Gratitude for God

I am giving the Lord credit for my great life. Thank you, Lord! Some think the earth was just a big bang, "poof" and it was here in perfect symmetry and execution. That is an interesting theory. Every big bang I've seen, produces chaos and confusion, not life and beauty. Someone had to create this great living and perfect earth. It was God!

Not only that but, he also blessed these United States with liberty. Freedom didn't just 'happen' either. Yes, many of our forefathers battled and gave their lives for it, but there was also a higher hand in making it come to pass. Thank you to our forefathers, this beautiful planet and our great God for letting us be a part of it.
