WHEN MOST OF US PURCHASE SOMETHING>> AND IT DOES NOT WORK OUT>>>>

Many of us when we purchase something that does not work out for whatever reason...

Get something home that you are not allowed to preview and try on before purchase>>>

Say underwear!! Now days because everything is mass produced in sweat shops often by underage children who should be in school....

But whoever they are they are abused while they are working... pressed to produce more pieces in fewer minutes!

So, not only do we have to be concerned about washing well with bleach prior to wearing to prevent disease...

Many of these sweat shops are in places that clean safe drinking water does not even exist for all people!


But often, nothing is even sewn correctly!
I recently bought two packages of Fruit of the Loom cotton womens panties 14 pair and not even one was sewn correctly. One leg way too small and other leg hole way to large...

Impossible to even get onto one's body! PAINFUL if you manage to get them on!

My husband, thinking he would be a sweetie pie and noticed what I bought myself and the size...bought me more!!!

They too were not properly sewn! Over 20 pair and not one wearable!
I never in my life returned even brand new underwear...

And there have been many things one of us has purchased and was never used but tossed in corners and drawers!!

We have gone on a return spree!!

Most folks do most of their shopping on a regular basis in the same stores, even if not every time!!

So my husband and I have gone through our closets, drawers, shelves, underneath seats in cars, and under sofas etc...

Looking for anything we have purchased and never used.

Often the item or items were still in the original bag with the original receipt!

We then not making a special trip out just to return a $5.00 item or even something more expensive....

To conserve time and gasoline, we plan our returns on the way to other events, functions or required errands such as doctor or dental appointments.

He exchanged hinges, packages of electrical connectors etc... stuff he had bought because he thought he was going to need for this job or that...

But he either never did it... or a customer cancelled their order...
So he exchanges his stuff for bug bombs and garden sprays etc...

That he actually set off in our house our next outing! And he treated our grass and garden that very same day.... with a song in his heart and a smile on his face!!!

DRINK UP BABY!

For he knew it was like getting those things for free.. for he did not spend cash for anything!

Today we went to our storage area, on the way to post office, on the way to a late lunch early supper at the Kannapolis K&W where we always enjoy hot food, large portions at a very reasonable price.... and are served by friendly smiling gals that now feel like family!

And both my husband and I always eat well and the two of us together even with a tip get out for $12.00 or less!

When in the area stop in and see them all!!
You will be glad that you did!!
And you will look foward counting the days before you can fit in your schedule your next meal and visit there!!

We then meandered to the mall where I returned some damaged hair bow things and exchanged for a callender book!! 2010 will be here before you can spin around...

You won't remember where 2009 went! That callender book I found late this afternoon not a day too soon....

I have already written appointments and reminders in!

YOUR HARVEST and ours is often hidden among our fragments we allow to be wasted or burried somewhere... closet floors and backs of drawers often blocking them from opening!

From the mall where we found Unusually CROWDED due to hundreds of trick or treaters going from store to store...

We went to Wal-Mart where I returned two full packages of those unwearable underwear!!

I was given a gift card with $12.93 on it... Which I gave my husband to put toward our regular grocery shopping which he had done as I worked on getting my return accepted!!

$62.00+ in groceries - the $12.93 return gift card... Felt wonderful !!
Walking out and riding home with good fresh food we will actually eat...

WE CAN CHOOSE TO WASTE NO MORE!!!
I challenge you to get those bags of returns together...

You will feel wonderful turning what you cannot use into useful needed items and fun SUPRISES!

EstherStephanada & Billy-Jacob!

Click the comment button and let us know how you did on your return/ exchange sprees!! OOOOH WEEEEE!!

What DO YOU WASTE THE MOST OF??? SUGGESTIONS TO WASTE NOT & WANT NOT!!

WHEN Cleaning out your house... if instead of sweeping everything into trash...

Sort papers into piles for other uses!!

When I get stacks of different sized papers... I staple several together....

And place several of these stapled packets in a folder & hand write letters as my Billly drives us from here to there and every where.

I keep blank envelopes in the pocket of the door of our van at all times... because I like keeping in touch with both folks I know....

And sending cheery surprises to those I just Meet... http://MeetandGreetAlongEveryStreet.blogspot.com/

I write letters the length of the stapled paper packets that otherwise would have been thrown away... and would I have purchesed still more pads of paper to write the same missives we drop into the mail while out already... using NOT even a Drop more of Gasoline!!

NEXT TIME You are Looking to trow away what could be put to use... INSTEAD... Give away Joy... BE A BLESSING TO SOMEONE ELSE!

And You Too Will Reap a Greater Harvest... Not Just of SonShineySmiles!!!

But you will become a Most Favorite Child!!! Sharing and not wearing Down, Building another... NOT Burrying HIM further into a shroud...

YOU CAN BE AN ESTHER or a JACOB TOO... By Being a Blessing to Another Every Day....

Blessings WILL ALWAYS CHASE YOU DOWN!!

Look at Fr Franks blog Link to his site below

Hi Friends!!

Fr Frank Pavone is always telling people both on his own show & when he is interviewed by others>>>

He encourages all Catholics and Christians to work the blogs and Facebooks etc for Life & get the Real Catholic view point out>>

Those who are prochoice use the internet better than we who have Faith he and ohers say>>>

http://www.priestsforlife.org/    You can go to this site and along the top under his picture and to the left a bit you will see "Fr Frank's Blog"  click on that phrase and you can read what he has there and what I placed and others and you can write your own views...

You can write your views on any of mine too>>>  I do not expect everyone to falin love in aggreement with everything I write>>>

I write in such a way to spark the desire even if its on impulse for people to interact!

Jesus will not come until the church is united without spot blemish or wrinkle & folks will not come together until they begin to interact>>>>  Speak their views, feelings an attitudes and listen to others!!!
Fr Frank has never himself responded to letters we wrote him about his ministry using full postage on their mailings instead of Non-Profit stamp!

His assistant Ray once called and once wrote justifying using it!  We perish for lack of knowledge>>  All of us including our Priests>>>  they are human too!! 
Priests too GET Decieved by the Devil!!

I did not tell Fr Frank on his own blog that I typed my response on his between Slurpy clean out drinks>>>  for tommorows you know what from both ends!!  YUM YUM YUM FUN>>>

Billy is really a sweetie getting together everything to make this GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO>>>>>>>>>

SMOOTHELY>>>>>OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Jesus did come live & die that we may "Enjoy our lives">>>  Hey Lets Do It!

EstherStephanada!!

I hope this inspires you all to some sort of action!!

REMEMBER THAT YOU & I ARE ONLY DUST... AND TO DUST WE ALL SHALL RETURN!

Imagine You and I were nothing more than dirt before GOd took dirt and spat into it, formed us with HIS almighty hands and beathed HIS Spirit into us!

In Jerrimiah, Jerriamiah was always seeing the yonder future realities before they came to be!

He always could see the bud before it began to bloom in a distant winter, from his reality...
The winter he was currently in!

Likewise You and I are called to learn and build off what our spirits can percieve from our past and that of the prophets whom
GOD required to write & record for all generations.... US!

If GOD Created you & me from only dust & the air HE breathes...

Who are you or I to discard or waste even the tiniest fragments.

Whether fragments of food, fruit juice, or water;
Paper or cardboard, someone you know may never have something to write on!
Never able to write the Words "Thank You Lord.. I Love You"
Because no one bothered to save for him what they daily discard.
Even a very small piece of fabric can be used by a skilled seamstress to patch holes, or even design apliques with.

And more easily and passively wasted, misused, money which unfortunately is the only motivator for many!

Jesus when HE walked and taught on this planet,
Knew first JUST HOW Powerful for both GOOD & Evil money was and always would be!

HE made it the sower' responsibility to research whether or not his soil choice was good & healthy to prosper...

Or rocky rollin ..... Are decietful folks skimming or uncaringly mispending. Purchasing from companies owned by a friend of a friend or realitive... of someone elses kin???

HUMMMM...
Seen it before... Hope not again!

EstherStephanada Can stamp out & Stomp out waste and so Can YOU!
