More for Manila

Yesterday we did our after-Church grocery shopping. While I typically consider this as a major chore yesterday's trip was exciting.

First I had to dodge the sample provider who likes to talk about her 5:00 gin & tonic (the first time we went to this store I stopped for a sample and the lady kept chit-chatting with me even as Amanda walked off, I learned all about how smoking for 40 years was ok because it hadn't killed her yet and that a gin & tonic at 5:00 was a perfect destressor).

Second I had to keep trying not to run into people (we tried to run over the same lady about 4 different times in the store).

Third was that clean crisp $100 bill just laying there for me in the middle of the meats section. I'm always a little hesitant keeping found money but no-one was there to claim it, and while I didn't think to check in at the desk to see if anyone claimed to have lost it.

Most exciting though is that it's an extra $100 with which to purchase toys and clothes for the Philippines. Amanda is planning on going to some garage sales with our friend Becky this upcoming weekend while I'm sitting through the CFA L3 test, she can use the money to benefit the kids overseas. This even lessens my hesitancy in regards to keeping the money. We're not keeping it and who's to say that this isn't what God intended?
