Counting My Blessings Day 3

Today I am blessed, because I have a job.
I work for the worlds largest retailer, you know the one everyone hates, but everyone goes to...  the one Sam Walton started.
I am a Customer Service Supervisor, so my job is loads of fun! (insert sarcasm)
I am thankful to God that I am employed. I am glad it is in a place I have made friends and have met many people of great Faith. We talk about Jesus often and I love that I can do that.
Oh don't get me wrong if I could find a job out of retail, I would be gone in a second. But for now, this is where God put me, so this is where I am thankful to be.

    And I am sure you are making a huge difference serving exactly where He has led. Sometimes all that someone needs to make a difference in their day is a smile. A smile is so rare these days. Take it with you to that customer service counter. ;)
    I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my cards, got two, woo-hoo!!!! Did you make these? If so, you should sign the backs. They are so pretty, Jenny. You know I'm taking pics. I sat them on my kitchen window sill to see them and smile as I wash my dishes. ;) You've inspired me for my Christmas cards. I hope I don't run out of energy too soon. Thank you so much, my friend.
    XOXO

    Good Morning Sweetie...
    A wonderful blessing indeed. We never question where we are, just know that God has us there for a reason. I am sure you are touching many lives every day sweet friend. Your Christianity shines through in your writing.

    I too, worked for this retailer when we first moved out here to the Valley. I even had the privledge to shake Sam W. hand when we opened our new store in 1989. A good man, and their stores are a good place to work.

    God moved me in 1992 to the job I have today. Almost 20 years now. I can't wait to see where your journey takes you sweet friend. What winding roads we travel on our earthly journies. Have a gorgeous day. Many country hugs and much love, Sherry

    Hello again Sweet Jenny,
    So I am absolutely loving this wonderful theme- Counting my blessings! I also love the way you wrote this particular post!!!
    I think if we all took a little time at the beginning of each day to think of even just one thing that is blessing our lives at the moment, we would all be a lot happier- and a lot less whiney!
    Is it ok if me and the pixies copy your idea by adding a daily gratitude to our posts? I think it might be just what we need to help us "De-Funk" ourselves!
    Thanks so much for visiting us, and for blessing us with your sunshine!
    Sparkly Hugs,
    Tobi and the Pixies!

Woolzies!

Hey Y'all! Sorry to have been away so long again. I won't go into details, but it has been a bit of an adventure here. I think  things are settling down (fingers crossed) So how are ya? I have another give away for ya! A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to try and review a box of Woolzies Dryer Balls. Here is a bit about Woolzies from their website Photo from their Facebook page  Woolzies are pure handmade New Zealand wool dryer balls that soften your laundry naturally without any of the chemicals of conventional fabric softeners. Unlike the plastic dryer balls, they are PVC free and won't fall apart or melt on you. Woolzies save time and energy by cutting down on drying time by an average of 25% per load. They also help reduce static and wrinkles. Use Woolzies to snuggle up with naturally downy soft laundry that's completely free of harmful chemicals.  Woolzies are also hypo-allergenic and totally safe for people with wool sensitivities as...

Merry Christmas Y'all. Yes I say Merry Christmas! I keep Christ in  Christmas because it matters to me. I was at a craft show recently and at one of the booth's I wished the vendor a Merry Christmas, he said Thank You and then said "I don't say anything anymore, you never know what people believe and I don't want to offend anyone" OK I get that, he is a businessman....however;  I replied...."I say Merry Christmas because it is what I believe" he said huh... I have never thought of it that way before... I work for the "worlds largest retailer" and I say Merry Christmas all season long, In all of the 23 years I have worked in retail, no one has ever said "don't say that to me" actually most people are kind of surprised to hear it if I judge by the look on their faces and most reply Merry Christmas to you too. So try it on for size, the next time you are out, wish the people in your path a Merry Christmas, I bet it will make...
