A Dinner and a Blessing

Driving to Wal Mart after a busy day at work, I saw a man standing in the median between Wal Mart and a strip mall holding a sign that said, "will work for food."

Chocolate Shake for a Dedicated Employee

I work with children in an after-school program & staffing is definitely a challenge.  As a coordinator in this program I supervise several staff.  Our staff are mostly college kids, many who call in to say they can't work for many different reasons.

I decided to bring her in a chocolate shake to thank her for her dedication to our program and to show her that I truly appreciate all that she does for us.  I honestly wish I could clone her because she is a wonderful, fun, caring & dependable employee!
