Went on a Holy Spirit journey/adventure today. Started out at the Bulk Store. I remembered to stop at an Amish home heading back home to hopefully get some dessert for 2 neighbors. See, in the bulk store a fried pie sells for 2.99 each. At this Amish farm they sell the fried pies for 1.50 each. Purchased an apple and cherry one. Then I thought I would get a single cinnamon roll freshly made too. It was only 1.50 so I split it and gave half to 1 neighbor and the other half to another neighbor. There are like 3 or 4 homes on this property so when I pulled up there were some children outside on the 1 porch playing. I asked them which house had the fried pies. They pointed to the home next to them and an older gentleman came out and then walked as I drove to the next house to get the fresh baked goodies. Apparently, the 1 home makes them but ran out of them for their day and I guess they go to the other house to sell them. It came to 4.50 and I handed the man a 5.00 bill and he tried to give me the 0.50 change and I kept saying I did not want the change back, so he kept the 0.50. These kids looked like they were having fun and as I was heading to the next-door home feet away distance wise I told them they were so cute and have fun today.
Came home and delivered the baked goods to the 2 neighbors. I really do like shopping at the bulk store for families shop there. The Amish women and a few younger children with them it looked like they were picking out material maybe to make dresses. It is so nice to shop at a store that is family oriented. The smoked hot pepper cheese was on sale, so I purchased some of that. I then went on the 2nd part of my journey today. I was driving and wondered why someone honked their horn at me and then realized when I looked over at them, they liked my Donald Trump window cling on the back window with his thumb up and that is exactly what the lady did in the passenger car, I smiled back.
Stopped at Pop Shelf but nothing there today. Went to Kroger's and bought a few items. I did buy 2 bags of 1/2 off candy from the holiday. York peppermint patties and Reese pumpkin candies. I will take them in to work for the candy jar. Oh, I stopped at a local sore and found a hidden treasure for me to find and purchase. It feels heavier like metal, and it is a menorah. It says Holyland on it and can't help wondering if it came from there. Heading back to town I stopped at the Trump merchandise tent to give them some peppermint patties as they were closing up for the day. Last week I gave them some Reese's. So, we are talking, and I tell them how that person beeped at me today and we were just chit chatting. They had an event today and had Little Caesar boxes of pizza left over. He thanked me for being so kind to them and told me to pick out a box of pizza to take with me. He then handed me a Trump tee shirt, no charge at all. I said I am going to miss them after the election is over. There really are lots of good people out there, if you only take the time to see it.
I got home and it was time to divide the sausage pizza up and take to neighbors. I distributed it to 3 of my neighbors. 1 was not home so I told another neighbor if they didn't answer their door, which they didn't I would give them more pizza and that is what I did. Life is good and so full of happiness if you choose to let that happiness into your life and then don't horde it but give it away to others. Have fun even in a mundane type of day. Someone you extend your smile and kindness to may be someone that hasn't had someone smile at them or be kind to them possibly in weeks. Let your Jesus light shine and for goodness' sake, don't hide it under a bushel basket. Let the love of Jesus shine through you so you can then bless others with the Christian love of Christ.
Hey, this does not mean you allow yourself to be walked over like a doormat from ministries, don't let that happen. If it has happened in your life, then don't let it harden your heart and still go about doing good okay.
