holiday

where i work, i see lots of people who claim to be christians.

i'm not sure what they mean by that because how they treat me (as a server) makes me angry.

for example: today i had a woman buying a christian living book chastise me for offering her a member card.

it's my job to offer a membercard.

now:

i understand that we are to be stewards with our resources...and that includes our income...

however....

Fellow believers in the Almighty God...

don't forsake your witness just to save a dollar.

if you find yourself coming up with a hurtful comment to the cashier who just offered you something that would cost you an extra dollar or so...

DON'T SAY IT.

say, "no thanks! have a great day!"

a lot of people i work with know that i love Jesus. they don't necessarily understand it, but they come to me when people who are buying a Bible or a christian living book and complain about these customers who are hurtful and just down right mean.

in fact...Christians are usually the worst customers. which is ironic.

sunday is the worst time to work retail. especially after noon....when all the churches are let out.

maybe it's a good thing you're buying this stuff....cuz you sure could use it.

at least...that's how i look at it. my co-workers who don't believe in God or choose not to follow Him, think: "figures...if that's what their god is like, i don't wanna follow him."

this holiday season (thanksgiving, Christmas, and new years), let's show our service people that we have a God who is not only worth following, but loves them in a way they can't fathom.

Amen. No witness is better than a bad one. I'm sorry...It hurts. My boys are learning the difference between a carnal Christain and a spirit minded Christian. BIG DIFFERENCE! Hugs!
