Coins...

Saturday's are extremely busy.. But the rain rescued me from a bunch of driving. Football for my son was canceled( YES) and because my body cannot sleep past 6am even on the weekends; I got up cleaned and did laundry. Since I had a number of towels and comforters, a trip to the wash house was much needed. 

To my surprise, it was extremely crowded this morning. There were women everywhere. I later talked with the owner( he's a VET) and he explained 2 Saturday's a month he caters to one of the local 1/2 way homes for women. That definitely made me smile. 

As I put my clothes into the dryer, there were 2 women to my left talking. The shorter one said, " I put my last 3 quarters into this dryer, my fingers are crossed that everything dries". I politely asked, " do you need more quarters"? She responded, " No ma'am but thanks". I continued adding clothes to the dryer. What I then heard turned my stomach in the worst way. The taller woman then said, " I have to school you younger ones. When someone asks if you want extra money, if you need it or not you better say yes". I wanted to walk back over there and say something but I chose the high road. 

Every year, my women's org: Women Who Network, give back to the less fortunate children, women and men of Atlanta. We provide toiletries, homemade soup, sandwiches, fruit, water, chewy bars and a warm blanket. Yes we receive donations but for the most part, we fund this event solely on our own. Am I complaining? NEVER! But when a person would chose to try and swindle me out of a few extra coins, it makes me question their actions. 

I know, I know. Everyone is faced with some type of hardship. But sometimes, God disperses his angels on our behalf. Never ever block your blessing out of greed, God sees all!! 

I was hot earlier but now I'm feeling much better about it!! Im thankful that my 7th sense( Queen of Nosey: don't judge me) kicked in!! Lol

Angels DO Exist...

.... And sometimes God allows us to be Angels~ CTH 

Riding thru the Blueridge Mountains, enjoying the fall foliage and the scenery. We decided to pull over and get a few still shots with my Canon. As we park, there's an older woman standing next to her car with the hood up. Because my friend is super concerned and caring, he asked the woman was she ok and did she have roadside assistance. 

I stood back and watched the interaction unfold. As we began to walk away, another car soon pulled behind us and the first thing he asked was, " Do u think they have jumper cables"? With concern for their safety, he says, " I don't mean to startle you but do you have jumper cables"? She responded, " YES, we have cables".. 

He took the cables and jumped Rose's car. Rose( her name) instantly gave us hugs and we shared in small talk. She told me she was just journaling, I told her I'm a blogger. I then said, " we were just talking about Angels and she said I was just reading about Angels on Facebook". 

I promise God always puts us in the right places at the right time. 

As most of you know, I'm getting my life together. Cleansing my mind of a lot of clutter and baggage. I'm learning that God allows everything to happen for a reason. This was not a coincidental weekend. I struggled with thoughts in my head because of unresolved issues with this person. But in that moment God reminded me that if nothing else he's taught me the importance of Patience. With patience comes understanding and forgiveness.. 

My loves, I challenge you to be understanding in all things. If you look with your heart and not always your eyes( catch that), God makes ALL things right in his timing. 

Prayer and Patience are my friends.. For that I'm thankful..

I have Angels Around Me...
