If you know me at all, you know I am NOT a bah humbug person. I love Christmas, I love Jesus...He is the ONLY reason for the season....I love family, I love spending time with them, I love shopping for presents and blessing my family with them...
With saying all of that, I didn't recognize the lady at all that took over my body this morning and left with my husband to go to slidell and finish Christmas shopping.
I am sure the look of aggravation on my face as I walked the mall, made me a very approachable person, I am pretty sure I tried to hold that door before it shut in last women's face (it didn't actually, but I should have held it open)and I really didn't mean it at all, when I thought in my head, as the busy employee tried his best to help me, that he wasn't very smart at all.... I'm not at all surprised that this strange lady that stole my body didn't have fun, since with every store and every step, she would repeat "This is Horrible". Did I mention it poured down rain too?
I can't lie....no strange lady stole my body and went shopping with my husband, I just really wish I could blame it on her though, because it wasn't until we left and I got in the truck to come home, that the Lord spoke to me and said, "Hmm. probably would have been better if you would have invited me along", you know that kind of sits hard on ya since its His day and all. The response to His statement?......YES, it would have been alot better and oh how it will never happen again!!!
It is so easy to get caught up in things, and forget what your suppose to be doing and what really matters. But God never forgets.
...Thank God He reminded me....

Michelle,
I can't imagine you having a frown on your face, because all I have ever seen are smiles.
I am familiar with that woman, she takes over me more times than I care to admit.
Thanks for the reminder to always bring Jesus!
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Hugs to you guys for the T-Shirt. Ed was very touched by your thoughtfulness.
Hugs,
Rose
