Visits and treats from friends sure were spirit lifters today!!

"Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from His love?

Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate? 

Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other,

loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose."

Philippians 2:1-2

and I really liked seeing how twins -even animal twins- protect, comfort, and rely on each other.

It was good enough that I found our favorite coffee on the shelf today.

But then, it was On Sale!! Extra good gift!! Yay!!

But then, when it rang up regular price, the manager was very helpful and kind and

honored a store policy I didn't know existed and gave me a bag for Free!!

A simple joy. 

God's kindness in providing tasty coffee and a pleasant interaction at the Ingles self-checkout.
