Late this afternoon Kynan Bridges prayed a prayer that I participated in. No sooner did I do that, and Holy Spirit released in me the power of an apology. When I forgave others and did not hold back on forgiveness, I was able to see forgiveness that was extended to me a few weeks ago. When one likes to follow rules that sort of limits opportunities that just may be missed because your rule following can put constraints on you. Learn to flow more and expect to expect the supernatural, when you do let go you will be amazed at how free your life can be.
I am always learning, and I am glad that I still can be open to receive and not close off learning. After work today I had to go into Franklin to see if a couple of cute tops I saw on Sunday were still @ the TJ Maxx. I also had to return a couple of items too. The 2 particular tops I was going to buy last Sunday were not there anymore. That is the chance you take when shopping at this type of store. The checkout line was so long on Sunday that I just left my cart with the items I was going to buy and went home. No items were worth waiting in such a long line. I felt compelled today to go back to that particular store. I found a few items to try on until I was informed the dressing rooms were closed. My first inclination was to ask if it was related to covid. The response was no but it was because they do not have enough help/people wanting to work in the store to keep open the dressing rooms for the rest of the day. At first, I was a bit miffed and said I have to buy all of these items and take them home to try them on to then return them if I didn't like them? That was pretty much the only choice in this matter.
I returned the 2 items and then purchased 5 items. Should have been an easy transaction, right? Guess what, it was not. I just don't understand people not feeling the need to work which pushes extra work on those that do show up for work. I thought it was not enough as a total with all the items I had in my cart. I even inquired are you sure you rang up the pearl earrings. The employee assured me they rang them up. I am leaving the store and I see the one older woman that I may have been a bit miffed while talking to her about the dressing room situation. I knew in my heart to apologize to her for the way I acted. I thanked her for showing up at work to do her work. I saw empathy for her having to be older in age and extra work put on her. We both agreed that our generation are the people that go to work, we show up at work when are supposed to be there and we do work. She shared how her back was hurting her after her work shift. I think I told her to be blessed or something to that affect and she thanked me.
Yes, Christians that maybe don't get their own way sometimes can raise their tone with others. If in those moments, you take the time to hear the full story you would then not raise the tone in your voice. I remember the days when I worked retail and not my back hurt, but my feet would hurt after a long shift. When you worked for Estee Lauder back in the day there was no wearing tennis shoes with your uniform. Maybe flat shoes but the cute shoes really were high heels of some sort. When we would have executive visits to our store, I would wear the cute shoes to match my uniform and felt the aftereffects while driving home and that evening. Achy feet.
I get home and the only item I liked was the pearl earrings. I then began to examine my receipt and the return receipt. It is pretty not accurate and now another manager at a local TJ Maxx is going to have to deal with this confusion. I was never charged for the replacement pair of earrings like the employee assured me it was an exchange. I was charged for 4 clothing items but not correctly charged. I was charged 2 times for the same item @ 19.99 each and not charged for 1 item that was 39.99. Oh my goodness that is about 50.00+ something dollars that I was not even charged for on the bill. If I was not a Christian doing the right thing I could have looked at it like a blessing to me. That is just not right to call human error a blessing is it. Tomorrow I will go to the local TJ Maxx to return 4 items and explain 2 were rung up of the same, 1 was not even charged for, along with another item too. Could this have all been spared if they would have had enough employees to keep open the dressing rooms? Yes, people get out and work ok so the burden is not just placed on some people.
