Satan's Temptations.

If you don't already know , I'm a courtesy clerk at Smith's. A Courtesy Clerk, is basically just a fancy name for a bagger. So I'm on way to work, just like any other day. I get there around 8:00 am. I was already in a bad mood due to the lack of sleep I got the night before. I'm standing at the end of the check stand bagging this lady's groceries. I started to bag her wine that she had bought. I intended to double bag it, but instead of doing that the dropped right through the plastic. I had put two bottles in there, yet only one fell through. I just stood there thinking to myself, I guess this is what my day is going to look like. The day pretty much dragged on from there. Until later that afternoon, I was collecting all the carts from the parking lot like I normally do, and I came across a random pouch. Just sitting there in the cart. It said it belonged to one of the banks in the store, automatically I thought, well there should be money in there. Right? I mean this kind of thing doesn't really happen to me. I don't just find random money everywhere. I figured there would be receipts of some kind in there. I opened it, and sure enough there was maybe over 500 dollars in there. My mouth dropped open. At the moment I was pretty much broke. I was paying for soda in dimes. That's how broke I was. temptation washed over me. I knew it would be wrong to just take the money. I could lose my job. I went back into the store and showed one of my co-workers Cody.  I came up to him " Guess what I

 found?" he was just as shocked as I was. But I was a little taken aback when he said I should keep it.  I felt like I had an Angel on one of my shoulders and the Devil on the other. Trying to connivence me to make the right decision. I made the right one of course. I went up to my boss, and told him I found all this money. He returned it. I found out later who it belonged to. Apparently it was one of the employees that work at the Deli. As I was getting ready to clock out and head home. My boss came up to me and gave me a Smith's coupon. I felt like I won  a million dollars. Seriously."Thank you for your honesty" he said. I felt good. I'd rather feel good about my good deed than guilty for taking that money. But we all have those temptations. Don't we? If you don't then your obviously not human. Us teenagers get pressured into sex, drugs, and violence. I feel that's Satan's doing. Today I felt like God gave me strength to make the right choice. I would have to say sex being the most tempting. Mostly because in high school, it feels like everyone is doing it. There's also the silly temptations, that we feel pretty much everyday. For example your on this hardcore diet, and your best friend is eating a strawberry cheesecake right in front of you. Temptation? I think yes. But my point is, there's temptation everywhere. We all fall into the deep end, one way or another.  We just always have to remember to get back on our feet and make the right choices in life. Even I have fallen into temptation. I'm not perfect. But I know God will never judge me for the things I have done wrong in my past.  God always forgives.
