The Simple Things

 

Yesterday, I spent the day with a friend. After walking a mile with Leslie Sansone, we went to do some errands. I needed a watch battery and needed to get a necklace clasp fixed. The jeweler didn’t have the battery that I needed and told me to try CVS. They should have one. So, we went to CVS. I found the battery I needed. “Thank You, Jesus.” 

 

We went to the register to pay for it and lo and behold there was a display of playground balls! Right there, in front of the register, beautiful, colorful, bouncy playground balls. What to do? Of course, I grabbed one and started bouncing it. Then, I bounced it to my friend. We bounced it back and forth for a few minutes. Then, she bounced it under her leg. We laughed so much. So did the guy in line behind us. He asked us if we had hall passes. Oh, I can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard.

Thank you, Lord for joy in the simple things in life. (I did buy one of those balls.)
