How a Rotisserie Chicken Became a Grace Gift

This week we encountered a simple little promo gesture on the behalf of Kroger, but it brought a sweet truth to our hearts. On our way home from Kentucky last week, we stopped at a Kroger store to pick up something at their Deli for a light supper. We found some sliced turkey in the deli and a package of Hawaiian rolls that would do nicely.

As we were finishing making our purchases at the self-checkout, a worker approached with a cart full of chicken. She said, “Would you like a free chicken? I have fried chicken or rotisserie.”

Part 1 of this lesson begins here, if you missed it.

When there is a problem and things are going rough, it’s so easy for me to jump in and try to “figure it out” for the Lord!

On a recent early spring day, my husband and I were strolling on one of the beautiful walking paths near us. There is a little river that runs alongside the path. There are a couple of small waterfalls. There are green pastures and mountains. I was reveling in the beauty of it all when I looked at a woman walking towards me. She was not looking at the scenery. She wasn’t looking at the path or those that were walking towards her. She had her phone lifted up and she was texting and scrolling, totally oblivious to the beauty. Now perhaps she had a good reason to do this, but all I could think was, She’s missing all THIS!”

But how often I do the same thing when I’m overwhelmed with things going on in my life! All I can do is be obsessed with what is happening and how it’s affecting me. I miss what God is wanting to show me or remind me.
