Roses

My husband and I were shopping the other day and one of the guys from the store kept ending up in every aisle I was in. I thought it was a little weird but it wasn't a very big store so I just ignored it. We got what we needed and headed up to the cash register and the first thing the guy (that has been everywhere in the store that I have been) says is"It's you". Well I had NO CLUE what he was meaning and I am trying to think of the million things he could be referring to but nothing stuck out. Then he says "I could smell you through out the store". I am starting to get a little offended and am really confused b/c I had just taken a shower before we went to the store. I am sure I have a funny look b/c then he says "No! You smell like a bed of roses. I have been walking down every aisle, b/c it smells so good, trying to figure out where it came from. What kind of perfume is that?". (As my husband told me) I turned about 3 shades of red and the funny thing is that I wasn't wearing any perfume, just lotion. But I think that is one of the nicest/craziest compliments I have ever got from a cashier! Oh, and I have been wearing that lotion a lot more- what can I say "I smell like a bed of roses"!

Oh and I thought of something the other night when it was 8:30PM and it still felt like it was 100 degrees, our quarter of an acre lawn was a foot and a half tall, and I was seriously wishing for a self propelled lawn mower... the wind started to blow a little bit and it was SO nice b/c I was ready to stop at the back yard and forget the front. But that breeze helped me get the job done. I just thought to myself that's God. He is the breeze in our lives- He gives us that extra oomph when we want to give up. He is all we need to get through the tough times.
