There is hardly a day that passes on my Little Debbie job, that a shopper doesn`t ask me for help finding a particular items that they`re shopping for. Of course, most shoppers assume that I work for the store. As a matter of fact some of them are very persistent and demand my attention! I`ve found this to be particularly true around the Christmas shopping rush, instead of being joyful about the birth of our savior, they`re rushed, rude and inconsiderate.
Today that was not the case, an elderly lady politely ask for assistance when looking for 2% milk. I graciously found a store employee to assist her. As she passed my shelf, I asked if she had gotten her milk; this is a great way to start a conversation with a total stranger, thank you, God! She thanked me for my help, we had a light discussion about the state of our economy!
I did asked if she would do me a favor and pray for me, I am in discernment about changing jobs and trying to follow God`s purpose for my life more closely. Some how I just knew that she as a prayer warrior. She willingly agreed, telling me that she prays every morning and every night. In turn she asked if I would pray for her because at the age of 86 she`s having a few health problems. I hope that I look as good as Dot at 86!
I suggested that we pray right now, we joined hands bowed our heads and I began to pray for my new friend Dot, as I concluded she immediately prayed to God on my behalf. What a wonderful feeling of God`s love and mercy in the dairy aisle at Food Lion. If only this type of love and compassion for one another was rapidly contagious and spread like the flu. I believe God would be thrilled !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Psalms 20:4-5 May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed. We will shout for joy when you are victorious and will lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the Lord grant all your request.
