God, Food and Money: Busy week!

This has been a very busy week!  Mat and I had a fantastic anniversary weekend and ate way more cake than we should have but it turned out great!! It's pretty late so I am going to keep this short and sweet.

Saw an old cranky looking man steal some candy from CVS the other day...I've never seen someone steal before so I made me pretty mad (even though it was just candy).  I couldn't just watch and let him walk away unnoticed so as he was leaving I asked him if he was going to pay for the candy he ate.  He made a big fuss "what are you going to call the police?!" and then walked over and took even more candy and walked off....At first I was pretty upset and irritated that some people feel like they are above the law.  As I got into my car I kinda hit my head and thought "GEEZ! Why do I hit my head when he was the one that stole!?!" As if I was being punished for pointing out he was stealing...THEN....I thought to myself...what would Jesus have done in this situation...Thou shall not steal...the more I thought about it, I think I should have offered to pay for his candy for him instead of just point out his injustice...that is probably the only thing in my life I regret not doing...

Mat stayed home sick today with allergies and went to the doctor for some medicine.  He brought me a cinnamon roll during lunch which really made my day :)  He slept most of the day which was much needed!  I had cafe express for lunch for Katie's birthday and they messed up my order even though I told them NO CHEESE....had to wait for them to make a new dish....Then since Mat wasn't feeling good and I didn't have time to cook, clean, and go to the gym and exercise I decided to pick up dinner for us from Jason's Deli....well I asked them to hold the provolone and even double checked with them before I paid for my order.  I found cheese on my sandwich on my way home (fyi, melted cheese or cheese I can't easily peel off means I can't eat my meal and I basically have to throw it away) so I pulled a u-turn, called them up and asked them to kindly start making me a new one.  When I got there they were very apologetic, reimbursed my meal and let me pick out desert from the display case.  Since I don't eat cheese, Mat got a very nice surprise of TWO pieces of Turtle Cheese Cake - Definitely worth the extra wait!!

I said some prayers last night before going to bed and I felt much better than I have in about a week and a half.  If you want/need me to pray for anything just let me know!! I try to pray for my family and friends often!

I'm looking forward to this weekend! Easter! :)
