I don’t like the self-checkout aisles at the supermarkets. I avoid them. I usually want my groceries to be checked out by a “real” clerk. I want the human contact I get as brief as it is. This is despite the fact the paper cash recognition is much improved and it is not as finicky as it used to be. And they programed the process well. Once in awhile I will use the self-help checkout but not very often. I am sure I am not the only person who feels that way.

It is so easy to take your blessings for granted. Today I was grateful I could also buy some bananas along with a gallon of milk. It is near the end of the month and we are running out of cash. I was grateful I could buy what I could. It is always revealing what you would buy if you are down to your last dollar. It is so easy to take your blessings for granted. God owns everything. I had to remind myself of that.

It was only a quarter yet… I wanted to buy an half a gallon of milk. The only cash I had was some loose change in my car. I grabbed it hoping I had enough for that purchase.
I looked at the carton of milk. I did not have enough money for it. I was short a few cents. I went back to my car and decided to look on the floor near the driver’s side.
There was a quarter. I was thrilled. Now I had enough to buy the milk. It is nearing the end of the month and we are particularly short on cash right now. Sometimes God gives you just what you need.
Not more but just what you need. You can’t look too far ahead. All God promises is food and shelter. I needed to be reminded of that. All I needed today was another quarter. And that is what I got.
