I was caught in a terrific down pour last week.The raindrops seemed as big as dimes, and coupled with the gusting wind, made a drenching combination. Standing in the middle of a grocery store parking lot, with a cartload of groceries, is a far from ideal place to be when God decides to water the earth in such a dramatic way. As the river of water flowed over my sandals, I hastily tossed the groceries in the back of the suburban.
Completing the task at hand, I looked around for a "cart corral" to put the shopping cart in it's rightful, safe place. Ugg, wouldn't you know it, the corral was 5 car rows away! I was already quite wet and knew a dash across the parking lot would totally soak the few dry areas left on my being.
I looked around, to see if anyone was watching. Maybe I could just leave the cart next to the vehicle, hop in and take off. Surely people would understand, given the circumstances. Except maybe the person whom owns the car, that the cart will ultimately roll into, and scratch:)
Ok, I put the cart back in its proper spot. But not after some serious hesitation!
I want to be a women of quality in all areas of my life. Many times I am tempted to take short cuts.

Have you had a similar experience? I would love to hear about it!!
I so appreciate people who return carts to the right place...and I've been right where you were a time or two...and hence when I pull into a parking lot I'm always looking for the spot next to the cart return or close to it! Hee Hee!1
