Saddened, but understanding
Today, I had to return an item to Wal-Mart that I bought yesterday because last night I realised I over spent, and ironically, our account was going to go over drawn if I didn't return these two items that I didn't really NEED. So I get to customer service after receiving a return item sticker upon entering Wal-Mart. There were two ladies ahead of me, with two babies, and I heard the tail end of the conversation, something about them (meaning walmart) not being able to accept returnable items without the sticker you get when you come into the store (which I got) with an item to return. The ladies proceeded to complain a little, and leave. Whatever right, never gave it a thought till I left, and saw these two ladies walking to their vehicle....carrying only the babies...no item. The item they tried to return wasn`t in their possession, which made me come to realise, they tried to return and item they didn`t even buy. I`ve heard it happen before, but this was the first time I had actually seen it happen. Truly sad...but I totally understand.....money is everything a family needs to get by, and at times, around here at my house, things have been tight, and on occasion, our account has had to go over drawn, just to get by, but thankfully not by much!! God provides for all our needs, and we are very blessed with the job my hubby has, and very thankful for EVERYTHING, including over drawn bank accounts....a bible verse I read today via my twitter account -"She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs with no fear of the future" Proverbs 31:25 credit from (in)courage. I wanna be the `she` mentioned in this verse!! Without God in our lives I`d surely be a wreck! (and I am a tad bit uncomfortable sharing these parts of my life, but sometimes need to realise that others who may be in a similar situation, need to know its not just them, I know that it helps encourage me to know others have similar struggles, and could use prayer)
