I Got My Quarter Back

Tweet

I know you guys are all perfect and you don't forget anything, or have lapses of memory, but everything works just the way you planned it. Right? Well, I'm not perfect, and yesterday proved just how imperfect I am. Yesterday was laundry day, as I was packing up to go I took and put my purse/bag in the bottom of my shopping cart, and loaded the laundry on top, and trucked it out to the car, loaded the laundry in the trunk and put my bag in the seat beside me and went to my son's to do laundry. I knew on my way home, I needed to stop for groceries, and wondered which of the three places I should go. My budget is extra tight this month with both my car insurance and my car registration due, so it was the least expensive of the three to go, Aldi. I keep a quarter in the cup holder in my car, so I didn't need to dig a quarter out of my wallet. So, off I went, got my cart and proceeded into Aldi to get something for supper yesterday and dinner today. My plan is to do shopping by the day now instead of mass shopping. So, I didn't have a lot when I got to the checkout and started looking for my wallet in the super light bag. I had put the movie in my bag I wanted to watch with my grandson yesterday, and put three plastic bags in there so I wouldn't need to buy a bag from Aldi, but it never occurred to me that my wallet wasn't in my bag. Not until I got to the checkout. With my five items on the counter for checkout, I told the cashier I couldn't purchase the items. He asked if it was in the car. I told him 'no', and left the cart in the store, and hurried home, mindful of the time, as well, and groceries would need to wait until after church. On my way home, I went over in my head where I had put my wallet. I knew it wasn't in my gym bag, where I put it every morning, and then remembered, Wednesday was payday, and that meant, bills were paid. It was on or near the computer. Which is exactly where I found it when I got home. This morning, after church, I dug a quarter out of my wallet for the cart, and proceeded to the cart area, when a woman pushed a cart into the area, and just left. I didn't need to use the quarter in my hand. I could use the cart she just left there. I got my quarter back and my five items I wanted to get yesterday. God is so good to give me back a quarter. Even the smallest things matter to God. I also had green lights all the way from church to Aldi. Which was extra nice. Right now I have boneless beef ribs, four small potatoes, and two onions in a baking dish in the oven. I should be eating in about an hour. By the way, it was also the same cashier from yesterday, though he didn't recognize me as the brainless person who was there yesterday and couldn't purchase those five items because I forgot my wallet. I am so blessed. What has God done for you lately that you felt extra blessed? Thanks for reading.
