A bright side to grocery shopping?
Oh how I dread grocery shopping. It's always been work. Miserable. A necessary thing because… we have to eat. It's less fun with the kids, we never seem to get to the store before their bedtime, no matter how hard we try… and no matter what it seems we always spend a minimum of 100 dollars (every two weeks).
There is lots to be thankful for (and I am): we have the $$ to spend, we have grocery stores to go to, the kids usually have pleasant attitudes even though they are always tired when we go…
Last night I had a truly bright moment! One of my favorite things to do is file away in my mind something unique that someone wants or is looking for, then if I happen across it while shopping, buy it!!! And give it to them as a gift…
Last night at the grocery store God gave me one of those moments. It was the last one on the shelf (so Brad couldn't talk me into waiting to talk to the person and think about it, etc…), and the first one I have seen anywhere in the 7 or 8 years I have been looking!
The blessing of finding something for someone that you know they will like and use and won't be expecting… yeah, that can make grocery shopping almost enjoyable. :)
And if I weren't so excited in this moment, I would consider wrapping it and bragging about another Christmas present bought… but no. I will probably deliver it before the end of the week :)
