I was sitting in the break room having lunch Memorial day when Dean the meat dept manager comes over to me and said, Kathy? I said yes, he said Roxanne would like to talk to you when you are finished. Ok I told him.

I started trying to think if I had done something wrong or was my drawer way off more than one time, is she going to tell me I am done or what? Roxanne is our HR person, the gal who hired me . . .

I finished up my food and walked into her office . . . She said Dean was wondering if I would be interested in working in the meat department. Slicing meat, making deli sandwiches stuff like that. I told her I did not know anything about the meat department but sure why not. Then I asked her when and what hours would that be? She told me not for a couple of weeks but the hours would be 2 to 7 five nights a week – ugh. She said they were looking for someone dependable who showed up for their shift on time and someone they could count on.

I thanked her but told her no, with summer coming I wanted to spend afternoons with my grandkids and I wasn’t crazy about working nights esp every night. She thanked me for telling her before hand instead of after the fact and she would keep me just where I am

I was relieved and pleased with that little visit with Roxanne

I had a couple of things happen today that was totally God’s Hand and I wanted to write it here to not only give Him praise but to help me remember when I look back.

I had my bank send my sister a check for my phone payment in April. After the due date I got a text from her saying my bill was now overdue . . . when I could finally get home and check my bank I had indeed had the check sent but it seemed it was lost. So a couple of weeks go by and still no sign of the check. Tricia kept encouraging me to see about a stop payment on the check but to pay to stop payment was almost half of what the check was for! sheesh. I felt I should just wait, so I did. Yesterday on the way to pick up Andy from work I was thinking about the lost check again and I said out loud Lord, I never asked You about the check and I am sorry. Will You please make that check show up?

Today I got a call from Tricia . . . she had the check! It was mixed up with another check she had but she had the check!!!!! I was so thrilled and thankful we both praised God and rejoiced over His goodness to us both!

Tonight at work a guy came through my line with a carton of pop I rang it up and told him the total and he handed me a $20.00 I was going to get his change when he said I thought those were three for such and such . . . but there was only one back there. nevermind I will go back and get some more pop. Took the $20 and walked away! Sheesh! Now what do I do. My drawer was going to be short- great! So I took the receipt and wrote on the back of it what had happened. When my shift was over Delaney told me to go ahead and go home. I told him I needed to talk to him first. He came over to my register and I explained what had happened and he thanked me for telling him and keeping the receipt! He is also one of the bookkeepers and he would need to know why the registers and receipts were not balancing. He also said to me if there ever is a problem I would talk to you the next day, you have been fine so far so it’s all good. Praise God!!!! On the way to work I had thanked Him for going before me and staying beside me He is a GOOD God!!!

I am tired, I need to go to bed . . . right after ice cream
