Just a little longer...

I've done the grocery shopping today and had a good time doing so. Britney went with me and was some help, but my knees were killing me. I tried it without my knee brace, okay...so maybe not the smartest idea, but I made it. However; I didn't plan my strategy very well though. I needed to go to the bread store and it's on the opposite side of town from where the grocery store was that we went to. I couldn't go to the bread store after getting groceries because it was already over 100 degrees outside and I couldn't leave the frozen food in the car. My strategic awareness was amiss today.

Now I'm home, the groceries are put away, lunch has been eaten and while my knees are still killing me, it's nice to just sit back and elevate my legs. Maybe I'll ask Pat to drive me to the bread store. Plus, I need to get more smokes, but I'll do that before I go to my meeting tonight. Right now I am just grateful that I have a loving God who provides for us when we need it. Our pantry was okay, but our freezer and fridge almost had moths flying out of them because we were so low on food. However; our needs are always met, never our wants, but always our NEEDS. I got excited because of the gas rewards I earned at the grocery store, so I paid $2.95 a gallon for gas, the car was almost on empty and it cost less than $45 to fill our baby up! We have gas for another week! Yeah! I have enough money to contribute to my group nightly. I am meeting some wonderful people and my sponsor has decided that it is now time for me to start being part of the service community. She found and is going to exploit my weak spot. Oh well, I do the best I can and that is all I can ask of myself and from anyone else. 

Now, I have a little more to do today. So for now, I think I am going to see if I can talk my hubby into driving me some places and give my knee a break. I hope you all have a blessed day. Remember those who are less fortunate than you, never judge anyone lest ye be judged in return, and always, always be kind to others for you NEVER know what kind of battles they are waging in their own lives. Even just a simple smile to a random stranger can change their entire day and while you may never know it, they do and THAT is what matters. Be the kind of person you want others to be and live your life as an example of that. God bless you all.
