This morning at work I was a bit annoyed and frustrated at the usual &#8220;motherly&#8221; (picking up after everyone) tasks that I had to do in order to get my job started. It kind of started my morning off on a bit of a rough note and I was pretty discouraged. After speaking to my manager, I felt a bit better since I had actually shared my frustrations this time and done it as tactfully as possible. After drying off a bit (long story) and getting all the pick-up tasks done, I started about my regular routine. That&#8217;s when God sent a special blessing. <\/span><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><span style=\"color:#000099;\">&#8220;Monica! You have a job shadow.&#8221; Sarah yelled at me from the front of the store.<\/span><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><span style=\"color:#000099;\"><em><span style=\"color:#33ccff;\">&#8220;Great&#8230; I&#8217;m already way behind,&#8221;<\/span><\/em> came my Ebenezer thoughts. <em><span style=\"color:#33ccff;\">&#8220;Oh well,&#8221;<\/span><\/em> I shook it off. <\/span><span style=\"color:#33ccff;\"><em>&#8220;Maybe I&#8217;m not supposed to finish all my work today.

It was Cassie, she had shadowed me about two weeks ago for a high school project. Now Cassie wasn&#8217;t like all the other job shadows that we got at Pet Supplies Plus. Cassie actually #1. cares for animals and #2. WORKS! So I found it quite a blessing to have a friend to talk to while we completed my allotted tasks for the day. Cassie willingly worked hard and her smile and sweet personality was quite encouraging. <\/span><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><span style=\"color:#000099;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><span style=\"color:#000099;\">So, thank You God for your special blessing today. <\/span><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><span style=\"color:#000099;\">You are so good to me. <\/span><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><span style=\"color:#000099;\">I love You.<\/span><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today God sent me a special blessing.
