Walmart has more than Just Greeters

Today, was my errands & baking day.  Most of my errands were right here in Maumelle & one was all the way to North Little Rock.  After finishing my errand at the Super Walmart store, I went to  Lowes which was about 20 minutes away.

As I got out of my car at Lowes I grabbed my purse.  My heart dropped.  I didn't see my red cell phone that makes its home on the outside of my black purse.  All I could think about as I traveled through Lowes was

Philippians 4:6

         In nothing be anxious; but in everything by 
prayer 
and supplication 
with thanksgiving 
let your requests be made known unto God.


Finished what I needed to do at Lowes,  looked all through the car & purse many times.  Time was ticking.  I immediately knew what had happened.  My phone somehow got pushed out of my purse & was lying in the Walmart parking lot.  Or run over by now.  Or stolen.  What about my address list?  What about the unwanted calls I might be requiring.

Still staying calm.  I got back to Walmart & looked all through the parking lot.  No phone.  I went to Customer Service.   No one had turned it.  Went to the Pharmacy.  No Phone.   They told me that sometimes people turn in items at the fitting rooms.  Go there.  No one was there to help me.  Every second seemed like an eternity.  As I was waiting, there was a sweet young lady in the next department over.  I told her what had happened.  She stopped what she was doing, really listened & took action to help me.

To make a long story short, it was finally dawning on me that I needed to call the phone company & cancel the number.  The sweet young lady even went to the car with me to try to find the phone.  No phone.  About the time I was leaving, someone came running out of Walmart to tell me that they found it.

What had happened was when the helpful girl called my phone from her phone the second time, someone finally heard it ring.  Sure enough, someone found it in the parking lot.  They called my sweet daughter-in-luv & Jenny told them to take it to Customer Service.

As the young lady & I traveled all around Walmart trying to find the phone, she would say encouraging words like, "The Devil just wants to hinder us."  I knew from her countenance, her over-the-top helpfulness, & commits, God had given me an angel in disguise.  The other employees just did there job.  Nothing over.   When it was found, all I could do was hung her & cry.

Psalm 91:11
For He will give His angels charge over (Ann), 
                To keep (Ann) in all my ways.

God also calls us to be His hands & feet.

Thank you Father that You gave me more than a Walmart Greeter today.
