“I am a Christian…

Bought with a purpose.. purchased by love…”

This song is “Simply Redeemed”-Isaac Carree is so great!

I was thinking about it the other night when I was in Walmart with my nieces. I was getting aggravated by the customer service staff and although annoyed, I was so calm, that’s no-one But God cause I can be a handful when someone is wasting my time and insulting my intelligence.

While at that desk, I also had to be mindful that I was in a teaching moment for my little ladies. How I handled that situation would end up being pivotal for me, they left out of Walmart with their own opinions and conclusions about the situation;
Kendra:” that doesn’t even make sense, they must be new, they don’t know how to even look something up. I’m never working at Walmart when I grow up”,
Nique chimes in:’ Yeah, they must be new. They weren’t nice TT. I’m not even shopping at Walmart when I grow up.”
As they continued to talk amongst themselves, I realized how important it was for them to see how to handle a situation like that without giving people what they expect by being loud and angry.

I constantly address the girls about how they speak to each other so if I would have spoken harshly to the Walmart associates, I would be a hypocrite. Not that they know what a hypocrite is but they would know that TT did not do what she tells us to and integrity & role modeling is everything to these impressionable young ladies.
It also would have taken the attention off the error of the ways of the staff and put the attention on to me.

All I can say is thank God for redemption!
