Thank heavens for the honesty of these clerks!
I have lost valuable things before and looked for them with no success.
I have never lost my wallet..
I was convinced I had left it on the counter and someone had put it safely away..but my hope was growing dim.

I had mentioned as I was checking out..that I was buying kitty litter there because I did not want to have to go to the grocery store and buy a heavier bag.
I left the litter on the counter and put another bag and my purse in the car after I said I’d be back for the litter..( I had parked right at the front door) A kind clerk was right behind me with the litter ..That’s how I managed to forget my wallet on the counter.

Lovesly means "I love Sly"

We will try to the Navy base in Millington is UNDER WATER! From the view from the air it looks like MOST of the base is under water. At least 1 trailer park was evacuated.

[GailA]

Hope his cousin was OK. We are out here in Scenic Hills so kind of high and dry, minor damage, nothing major like Millington or Mid Town Memphis.

[tiapam]

Glad you liked it!!! LOL!

Hope everyone has a Blessed Sunday
Will be "out" today and "in" later!

Amazing Grace

by John Newton

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, .
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!

DEAR GOD, who suffered torment, agony,
and death upon the Cross to free our souls
from the chains of iniquity, protect and defend
our troops. Guide them in the performance of
their duties. Strengthen them to endure hard-
ship,danger and deprivation in Your service. Let
their efforts free the people of Iraq and Afghan-
istan from the chains of terror and slavery,
foster a lasting peace in the region, and bring all
to a greater share in Your Mercy.
Amen.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!
