The other day I was doing my online food shopping. It's not a luxury here; it's a necessity! I don't have to go into the store which I just cannot with 6 kiddos, 2 autistic & 2 babies. So I pick out everything online, schedule a pick up time & they bring it to my van. They also carry many of the special allergy free foods we need & organics. It's lovely; a real blessing.

Anyway, the bakery has this really yummy peach crumb pie & I had a craving for it. It usually comes warm - wow... I knew I probably should not order it, as it's just too yummy first of all, but it has some dairy too so that's not the best for me or my nurslings. Well, I had these "nudging" feelings; you know the kind, when God is saying "No, don't do that." Then sometimes we listen, & sometimes, well...

I sort of half heartedly did go ahead & order it, not feeling particularly good about it but wanting it anyway.  Sort of a thought came to me in the back of my mind, a "well hopefully they won't put it in the bag or something" but I really didn't want that to happen haha!

I spoke to them that morning & the list was set. The pie was on my computer printout so that meant it was on the order. I left with my kiddos to pick up everything.

After everything was loaded I realized she had not handed me a pie. They typically tell me because it's warm & they don't want it bouncing all over the trunk, so I would put it in the front, with the eggs. That didn't happen. The clerk went back into the store as the order was complete & we were all packed up.

Before we left I checked the receipt, & the pie was not on there, anywhere! So I didn't get it & wasn't billed for it!

I couldn't help but chuckle a bit (inside)... even though I still wanted the pie!  I guess I was saved from myself!
