Whew, what a mornig !!!

After having no sleep last night I arose early anyway determined to get a lot done today. First , when I had the shampoo in my hair during my shower, the water just stopped for about 5 mins. (David has been trying to fix it.) Then I left the house to grocery shop while it was still relatively cool. As I was leaving the Food Lion there was a young couple sitting on a bench just inside the store, cussing each other at the top of their lungs. Apparently he was a "gansta" , because that's what she said. "I know you are a !!!! gansta , but I ain"t !!!!! scaird of you . " Well you better be cause I'm gonna knock the !!!!!!!!!out of you. Well, I walked past them and gave them a look. Next thing I knew he had her outside and slammed her up against the brick wall. Then she hit him....... Etc. Well I had to say or do something. So I stopped my buggy and asked her if she was alright. She said she was. I asked her if she needed any help. No,she said . I don't know what I could have done to help, I didn't even have my phone on me. Then I thought, if I have to I will pitch this gallon of milk at him. (Yeah, can you hear me trying to explain to my Dr. how I tore my other shoulder ? ...slinging a jug of milk at a gangsta.)
What do I think I was gonna do with that jug......Got Milk ...Pow!!!???

Well, she went out to her car and he stayed at the store. So I went on out to my car. Surprise!!!! Flat tire! (Flat NEW tire )

Back into the the store with my buggy. In the mean time the couple had returned to the bench inside the store. As I walked past them I gave him a look...but they were busy with their "sweet talk" again. But, at a slightly lower volume.

By the way I did not have my cell phone on me. So I got one of the FL boys to put my whole buggy in the store cooler and used the phone at the service desk. I knew where David was, but he didn't answer his phone.

Then two nice young FL men said they would change my tire. As we walked past the couple I gave them my look. (I really wanted to do that sign thing with your fingers to your eyes, but I could not remember which way to point your fingers...you know, the one that means "I'm watching you!"

It must have been a hundred degrees out in that parking lot, but I had parked in a shady spot. Those poor boys would have burned up if I hadn't!

Oh how grateful I am for their help ! So, tire was fixed now . Back into the store, gave my "look",collected my buggy from the cooler and entertained the couple with another "look"

By this time it was almost one. I started feeling faint and sick. (And starting to hurt.) I had not had any thing to eat. Thought a quick trip to the Bojangle's would fix that. OOPS,my gas light was on.

I was not about to drive down 601 with a wonky spare tire and the gas light on. I had to get my food and get to the place where I knew my dear hubby was before he left. And did I mention it was hot?!

How did all this turn out? Got my food and a big ole sweet tea (and the same for David in case I was able to get up with him) Yes, I caught him just as he was leaving, he followed me to the gas station, pumped my gas for me and followed me home.

I don't know about the young couple. And I don't understand why people just walked past without even looking at them. So sad, we live in a fallen world. But I do know that even the "little" mercies of the day was planed by my Father in Heaven. Sometimes when we are going through a lot, and our faith is low, God shows us protection, kindness from others, shade from a tree and a loving husband ...these are from His loving hands and "great is His faithfulnes to me."
