Blessed

What a week I have had. What a wonderfully blessed week! First Monday started out with a 2 year old throwing a complete temper tantrum in target. It started the moment we walked in the doors. But since the 5 month old only had 1 clean diaper left and that was on him, we had no choice but to be there. By the time we reached the parking lot I was about ready to throw a tantrum of my own when suddenly I realized that just across the street was a Starbucks. (of course there was right?!) Anyway, I also realized that I had just enough cash in the old wallet to indulge myself. So mommy tantrum was quickly averted. I placed my order and as I reached the window and was being handed my delightful little treat I was told that the super nice lady in front of me had paid for my order!! Yup, that's right, there are still super nice people in this world. Apparently someone had done it for her so she was paying it back, or forward, however that goes. What a treat! What a super nice sweet blessed treat!!! Talk about timing and making my day! So now its my turn to return that to someone else someday. But wait, the blessings haven't stopped there, oh no. This was just Monday, we made it to Thursday and by the time last night arrived I was exhausted, were talking fall asleep at the wheel, need a vacation exhausted. But I had MOPS, I had to be there, So I went, and while I was there I got engaged in a conversation with another mommy whom I have known and spoke with but never really have gotten to know. Anyway, she had just received this wonderful scallop punch from Stamp'in up that I have admired for a long time now. And yup, you've probably guessed it, she gave it to me. Of course I declined, she insisted, I declined, she insisted. We played out that scenario for a little while. Before she really insisted and said "take the blessing". So I did. I am sure God is teaching me a lesson here somewhere, I just need to ponder on it awhile and figure it out!
