A Waffle House Christmas

Hey Everybody. I think this is so cool how I can post directly to my blog from here. Right now I'm at work, and not doing much, I'm simply listening to some music, and working on paperwork as I get it.

Waffle House....Doesn't everyone love Waffle House??!!?? I mean, if you work overnight, or even if you don't, and you're just a college student, you HAVE TO love Waffle House! Although, I will say this, I'm not like most people in that I don't particularly like the hash browns. I LOVE their grits though. (You ever heard that Grits ='s Girls Raised In The South??) I think that's ridiculous, but if that's the case, I sure do love me some grits. haha.

Naw, I'm just kidding, but I just got back from eating at Waffle House and that's what made me think about all of that. That's another great thing about Casa de Waffle though....the fact that they're open 24 hours a day 365 days a year. We almost ended up at Waffle House a couple of years ago for Christmas Lunch!

My mom and aunt planned a huge Christmas Eve dinner, and completely forgot about Christmas Day lunch, and all the stores were closed. So we ended up driving all over town to try and find somewhere that was open. Well, out of 4 Waffle House's on our one exit, every last one of them was packed out with a wait!!! So guess where we ended up???? Think "A Christmas Story"!

Yup.......Hong Kong King Buffet!!!!!

I kid you not, it was the funniest thing I think I have ever experienced. It was one of the best times of our lives. My uncle constantly kept singing, "Fa Ra Ra Ra Ra, Ra Ra Ra Ra" like the singers off of "A Christmas Story". It was so funny. The joke from that day out was that was the first time any of us had ever tasted cat! HAHAHA. We were kidding of course, and if you are offended by that, sorry, it's meant as a joke. But yeah, we all ended up in Stockbridge at Hong Kong King Buffet. It was awesome.

Isn't our Christian walk like that sometimes though? We wait until the last minute to prepare for what we need. We go around looking for different avenues and ways of getting it done quickly our way. Then we turn to God and we expect Him to deliver and then when he does, it's not exactly what we were expecting but it always turns out ok. And most of the time it turns out better than we were ever expecting.
That was the last time the entire family was together for a Christmas and it was one of the best memories that we will all cherish forever.

Keep in mind as you go throughout your week that if you keep an open mind, and are communicating with your Heavenly Father daily that you might find yourself in a better position in the end than when you started off. Until next time.

Live for Him,
Stephen
