A Mother's Heart

wal mart

Let me start by saying I love Wal-Mart.  I live in a small town, with limited shopping, and I shop with a limited budget.  Therefore I love Wal-Mart!  However, recently I saw something in Wal-Mart that shocked me.  In the center aisle, prominently placed, was a display containing calendars with EXTREMELY scantily clad women on the covers. 

I was shocked!  I physically recoiled from such a terrible sight!  Now, I have never been overly sensitive to things like that, so I was sort of suprised at my reaction.  I truly believe the Lord is softening my heart on issues like this. 

All I could think was, would I want my little sons to see such a sight?  We try so hard to protect their little minds and eyes from the world, only to have them accosted at Wal-Mart of all places!  I was goaded into action, and determined that I would speak to the manager the next time I went.  Of course, after making that decision, the display was gone on my next trip!

So, in the future, I will be very vigilant about what surrounds me, even when I grocery shop!

Well every Wal-mart in the country must have those as I sayw them here in SD at the Walmart I went to. Must be a standard thing. My kids even noticed the display and I was not happy either!

It sounds to me like you weren't the only one that found the display offensive since it's not there any more.
