She simply said that poor people can't afford to stock up, even alittle; and when there's an emergency, there's nothing on the shelves for poor people.
Had i known a week ago, there'd be a blizzard descending within the paper goods section, i'd of bought A pack of toilet paper. Yes, still have some, it's just that i only have the funds to only keep so much of anything on hand. And because i don't live in a mansion, there's only so much room around here.
Also wanted to get A pack of bottled water. There was NONE of that either. Yeah, i should have bought that last week - but balked...because bottled water is so darn heavy. So, will just fill up the mason jars with water from the house and drink that while doing yard work. Better anyway.
At the store, it was only the Lord's grace that i didn't buy that last carton of my favorite orange juice, but instead chose a carton among the remaining others. The Lord's grace in other forms have been at work. During normal times, when seeing a product, and wanting two of them, but there's only three on the shelf, that still small voice, "don't be hoggy."
i think the Lord's grace prompts people, even years prior to becoming saved - uh, Bible says somewhere "from the foundation of the world." i think that His grace also takes the form of having parents, grandparents and other adults who admonish against being a selfish widdle snoflake.
All's i know is, if i was a lost person, i'd be so effing angry right now - this last year and a half has really ... inhaled. And now they're fixing to close work for two weeks. Hey! i was saving that leave, and now will likely have to use it.
No! 'Am not going to wax all happy-clappy, slinging Scriptures AT you, when someone moves your cheese. Churchians may get all spiritchhuull. Yeah, well have at it! Meanwhile, real christians are real people, with real issues.
