I was standing behind this woman in Marshall's last night. She had so much stuff it was ridiculous. I was just standing there rolling my eyes. Her total was 309.88! My eyes bucked out my head. I was like, " Well dang".. So, she pulled out a credit/debit card. She told the cashier, " Charge it".. He swiped the card and waited... waited some more...and some more... then a beep, "DECLINED"... He politely told her," you're card has been declined". She looked embarrassed( as I would have been 2)and replied, " Can't be, there's no limit on that card"..
How many times has this happened to you? You just knew without a doubt you had money available until you went to use it and BAM declined...
Or what about when you're driving? Your doing a steady speed, in your zone then you hit a standstill in traffic or better yet, a speed bum. There's nothing worse than having to slow down. Not only were you already being cautious but NOW you have to start all over again..
I'm so glad GOD has not set a limit on who I am and what I'm capable of becoming.. People will give us limits but not God. I remember as a child, my mother would take my brothers and I out every Friday to either McDonald's or Burger King in Central Square in Cambridge,Ma. Afterwards, she'd take us into either the Dollar Store or Woolworth to get a toy and she gave us a limit( and I quote), "It's 4 of yall, so you each have $5.00, have fun".. I think about it now, what could $5.00 really buy? A bunch of little toys or activities that ended up in the trash.. In the trash, the same way some ppl value others and what they've been given. We trash it, with our harsh words and unappreciative actions.
Thank God, there are no limits on HIS:
blessings
love
grace
mercy
Where people fail, God prevails! so, decline my card if you must.. I serve a God with platinum unlimited "FAVOR"
Serve him and get yours today... Call 1-800, I need your GRACE!!!
Love this!!! So many times people have tried to put limitations on me based on my age and past experiences, but I'm so glad I serve a God that doesn't look at any of that!!! Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!
ReplyDelete(Giving the Marshall's chick the side-eye because she knew that card wasn't going to go through...No limit, right???)
Thank You Michelle!!! I watched people put limits on my Mother bc she was single with 4 of us!! We're not perfect but we're all alive!!
ReplyDeleteI'm learning to soar past limits... If I stood still and accepted what ppl throw and threw at me, I'd be dead!!
Far as the chick in Marshall's, she pulled out another card, it went thru... Maybe she pulled out the wrong 1??!! Yea, riiiiiggghhhhtttt!!!!!
