Missed it by that much…

So a few days ago I found out I was going to have a visitor over to my house. Actually they invited themselves… and I knew it was their birthday. They gave me ample time to plan and plot, which I did and scowered the internet for a present worthy of their appearance. Also, I cleaned and showered and got everything super ready to go.

Just down the street from my house is plenty of shopping opportunities including Bed Bath and Beyond which is filled with thousands of wonderful products that you don’t need but could also fill your house with. I knew what I was getting. I was a little stressed because I was getting ready to spend almost a hundred dollars on this gift, but I had gotten over my frugalness and was on the way to my car when the phone rang. “Hey, it’s a long drive to your house and I only have a few hours in town so I was thinking maybe I’ll stop in next time.”

How often have I thought that cracking open my Bible right now would be good and I make the intention to do it but when it gets right down to it, I’m just not feeling it. It will be there next time.
