I was in the Mount Juliet area yesterday doing some shopping/errands. I purchased a 24 pack of the flavored bottled waters for 10.68. That was a great price for Perrier for the number of bottles in the package. I did notice that these used to be priced @ 10.00 not 10.68 the last time I purchased this type of package before. I inquired of the expiration date of them because I would probably not be able to consume that many in a short period of time. We could not find the best by date, and I told them it is usually on the bottle somewhere, but we did not open the package up. One clerk assured me they just got them in and would be good for a few months. I purchased them. I get to my car and open the package to take one out for me to drink in the car. There is an elderly couple next to me getting into their vehicle and I felt prompted to see if they would each like one as a refreshing from shopping. They each said yes and 2 were now given away as a blessing. I then get into my car and look at the best by date which expires in 2 weeks. I go back into the store and speak with the manager about me being told they were good for a couple of months because the one clerk told me they just got them in the store. I come to find out that clerk only works 1 day a week, and she gave me not so correct info. The manager said it was close to the best by date listed she would give me a credit of half off price because this is what this particular store does if within a certain time frame of the posted date. I was happy and I have had some of the Perrier flavored bottles of water past their best by date and they still have that lovely bubbly carbonation when you open it up and the peach flavor is yummy in this batch I just purchased. I went to another store and then felt led to go to Publix. Are you listening to the words used "felt led"?
I needed to pick up a few items and as I am heading into the store from my parked car, I noticed an elderly gentleman parked next to me placing his groceries in his car. I asked him if he would like a bottled water and showed him one from my trunk. I said it is Perrier it is a good quality water, you know Perrier. I did tell him to drink it before the best by date. He accepted one and told me thanks and said it was not even Christmas yet (insinuating a gift given and not even Christmas yet and to get a gift). We can all bless someone in all sorts of venues right. It does not just have to be grandiose ways but in the simple ways of your daily life. Let Holy Spirit lead you and watch what He can do to bless others. I was drawn to elderly people yesterday to bring them a bit of refreshing in the form of a simple bottle of water in which they gladly accepted. How much more can we bless elderly folks. Find a way to bless someone elderly either around you today or out and about amongst your day. Oh, I purchased a few 2.00 bills yesterday from the bank, I wonder who will be getting those little blessings? Find the hidden treasures in your day today and do not just hoard them to yourself but share them with others ok. You know I am not some sort of rich tycoon right. I share what I have with others even when my checking account balance may not be so fat with finances. I learn to live with the nudges of Holy Spirit prompting me to bless others.
When I arrived home last evening and picked up my mail a new book I recently purchased was delivered. "The Miracle of the Oil Receive the Power of God's Anointing" by Joshua Mills. I do believe there is an actual recipe inside the book to create biblical reference anointing oil. Oh, if you should need a special treat to serve at your Thanksgiving meal to put out as an appetizer, I stumbled upon this yesterday @ Publix. Purchase the Boar's Head brand of Horseradish Bacon Cheddar Spread. You have to like horseradish to enjoy this. I think I am going to make a scrambled egg this morning with fresh spinach, mushrooms, broccoli & sweet onion I have and put a little bit of this spread right in the scrambled egg as it is cooking. Do you think the white cheddar that is in this spread will melt into the egg while it cooks? Curious to find out if it will.
The horseradish spread melted just lovely when making the scrambled egg. I also blessed Israel yesterday indirectly, would you like to know how I did? See, there are times when I want to bless Israel, so I seek out products made in Israel, and I purchase one. It is made in Israel, so I guess the company gets blessed when you purchase their product. Yesterday I found a bottle of Lavender reviving & calming Body Oil by The Dead Sea Collection. I check and verify on the label to see that it states it is made in Israel. I use other products in this line and never found a body oil until yesterday. You have to like the scent of lavender in order to enjoy this. The ingredients listed are basically a variety of different oils blended together. One of the oils is olive oil and the very last ingredient is fragrance of lavender. I found this beauty buy at Tuesday Morning and it only sells for 4.99. I do recommend this brand of products since I use a variety of them. Make sure to read the label carefully to make sure it states made in Israel though.
