THOUGHT FOR TODAY: I decided to take something back to Wal-Mart. I had started to use it but I was almost sure it was defective—almost sure. When I got to the store I couldn’t find it though I was sure that I had brought it—almost sure. When I got home I went through every room in the house. I looked in the car; under the seats, between the seats—and it wasn’t there. I was extremely agitated; though I have to admit, I had felt a little uncomfortable returning the item because I wasn’t absolutely sure it was defective—almost, but not quite. That being the case, I said a short prayer, “Lord, I give up; I won’t take it back.” Only a few minutes later I walked into the boy’s bathroom and there it was, in plain sight, right on the counter. I’m not sure what to make of all that, but I do think He’s telling me never to compromise, even in a little thing. What timing; just as I’m doing my taxes.
