glad to see others enjoyed them too. i especially loved the ones about teenagers being like jell-o, and not letting your mom brush your hair when she's mad at your dad.  smiles are nice...

joy in Him,

Funny, not funny ha ha but enchanting funny you should mention that.

Another person came to my shop. A lady with too many wrinkles for her age! She stood as dignifying as possible when she addressed me and said that she had been watching the cars for security purposes (lots of hijacking in SA... :P so this is a norm here.. :) ) anyway she had been watching the cars parked outside the Church she said and was asked to leave by the Church members! She said she was hungry and asked if I could give her something to eat. Immediately I thought, yes I can....and before I could think further she said she promised that she would never ask me again and that she would never come back....Well that assured me and without a moment I reached into my pie warmer and gave her a Pepper Steak Pie that was the closest one to selecting. I placed it into a packet and then the thought came to me to not give it to her grudgingly. So I smiled and offered it to her. She said with much appreciation may God Bless me and she really appreciated my smile towards her. She left and guess what....I FELT very HOLIER THAN THOU! :P

I sat down and thought that Jesus had worked this response through me and it had nothing to do with me. Then I struggled to understand and then I saw something. My motive was triggered by her saying that I would not see her again and she would not ask me again. So big deal...where was my charity. This convicting thought really made me see what a self deceived idiot I really am! It helped ALOT!

I am so grateful she came to my shop! It is so healthy to see oneself as one really is before the magisty of Christ who suffered and died for everyone. Jesus Christ would have and did through me, give her something but me....I am a self seeking self dependent blind woman learning to see and being blessed to see the Truth!

Glad you thought of me Claudia.

Peace be to you

Arcturus :)
