that's the magic of Macy's...

...seriously who comes up with these tag lines?! Well, there is nothing magical about working at Macy's. I spend 8 hours a day on my feet, running back and forth getting 6 different shoes in 3 different sizes for ladies but I am so very thankful that I have a job. It's always busy in the ladies shoe department which makes for great commission and plenty of interaction. Most of the ladies are lovely but of course there will always be a couple that think it is there right to be rude to everybody that they meet--those people are the ones I pray for most often as it's clear they don't understand that fact that there is a Lord that loves them. As a friend of mine said 'Macy's is your mission field' and how true that is when on a daily basis I see people filling their lives with the material things of this world to fill a brokenness in their heart that only the Lord can fill.
The less interesting information about my job is that I work with 5 others, two of which are Christians and the rest are lovely too. I have to wear black dress trousers, a black shirt and the one tie that I own (which is red). Besides that my job is just about serving and trying to find the right shoes and praying that it's in the place it's meant to be in the stockroom!
So I'm experiencing the magic of Macy's but like I say there's not much that's magical about it.
