A Beautiful God Blessed Day

I have to tell you about my Saturday.  I began by going grocery shopping.  As I was pulling into my space I saw an elderly woman walking with a walker from her car to the store.  She took about 5 minutes to get there she was walking so slowly.  Once she got inside she leaned on a cart and was fine.  She was attempting to pull or push her walker to the cart drop off area so it would be out of the way and she could pick it up on her way out.
  I asked if I could help her and she said, 'Yes, it goes over there." "That's why I like this store because of it's friendly employees and helpful customers."  I told her I'd be going up and down the aisles if she needed something to let me know and I'd get it for her.
  She was pretty independent.  I helped her take things out of those freezers with the doors that open up.  How do you go from leaning on the cart to opening those big, heavy doors, grabbing your food, then balancing back to the cart.
  You know it didn't take much at all to help this woman.  It made us both feel good.

Well God wasn't finished with me yet.  I went to the library and while checking out my books an 85 year old man was speaking so very politely to the women and thanking them so much for helping him.  I was ahead of this gentleman and I held the door for him.  He thanked me and made a comment about how nice that was.  I told him I was impressed by the nice way he treated those ladies inside.  He said it's all because of his mother.  He said he really takes the time to talk to people.  Instead of wishing them a good day like everyone else does, he wishes them a good life.  I got a hug and a few more compliments then we parted ways.
Another act of kindness which put me on cloud nine.  It's so refreshing to see people treat others like this.
  My dear friend Jane came over and we stamped, ate, swam in our pool, then stamped some more.
We relaxed in the pool and came out looking like we had prune hands and feet! LOL
I tell you I was ready for a nap I was so relaxed.

I was truly blessed Saturday and knew who it all came from. Thank you God for giving me a beautiful, God-Blessed Day.
Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope to be able to stamp soon.  This going back to work teaching is really cramping by card making and doing challenge and this blog! LOL
Bless you,

Thank you for sharing your Saturday stories! It's after 8 am and I only have one child home with me now. It's a little sad. I've got a workshop order to deliver this morning - and still have to stamp my "thank you" cards. I hope your school year is off to a good start.
