The Lord Blesses

Since Thursday, I have been working in the thrift store as well as recording my diabetic count, trying to figure out how to keep the numbers down. Today, I was reminded there is a list called "diabetic exchanges" which should help a lot.
Walking has becomea daily thing, and I found a DVD for walking exercise when it may be raining, or too hot.
I have been reading "Clutter-Free Christianity" by Robert Jeffress, which was recommended by Jason's brother, Rev Marvin Nelson. The Lord has used it to tell me to not worry about the fact that tending the cash register has become boring. When I turned my feelings over to the Lord, He immediately helped me. Now there are a couple of other jobs here that will need filling,in which I may be asked to assist.
Of course, I have had to remind myself that my current attitude started with impatience: the new guy usually does the less desirable task, and I have not been here a whole month yet!
Praise the Lord for showing me He has noticed, and will help me with my attitude, as long as I let Him.
Another first for me: when we arrived, a truck had just been unloaded. Today another truck arrived: the first one I have seen en total: from the time the doors were opened. There were a total of four men on the truck. I will probably be doing breakfast for them: the new cook never showed up, the substitute got held up in plane problems, and we did not expect 4 anyway. Oh well. Another new experience.
I offered to work tomorrow: Tuesday is usually a day off, but there is no Bible study this week, and a truck to unload and sort.
