- 6/23/2007 10:00:00 PMFireworks - Day 2The Bellview fire department had a truck at WalMart today. It is part of their community awareness program. Two firefighters were there talking about their jobs, the truck and the station. The young man we spoke with inspired my youngest to become a fire fighter. It sounded like a very exciting job.
We had our first theft today. Three kids came into the store and one of them turned their body to block the view from the cash register. We didn't see exactly what was taken but it was definitely small. Either way, that is disappointing.
Gary and Jane stopped in today. They have some very exciting news about more adoption possibilities. We're happy for them. I showed Gary our battery/inverter/generator setup. He mentioned that he had a very nice (and quiet) generator that he can bring by for us to use. That will be great. Thank you Gary, thank you Lord.
More blessings have happened that I had not expected. Earlier in the week we had sent out a mass mailing to family and friends about the adoption. Yesterday my cousin Mark called and left a message. So today I called him back. I had not seen or spoke with him since my Grandfather died a very long time ago. Before that, the last time I saw him I was a boy. It was nice to hear from him again.
All totaled, between yesterday afternoon and today we had over $1,000 in sales. Of course we only get a small fraction of that but it was a good opening day. Please Lord, bring in the customers!
