And since it opened, I can\u2019t begin to know the number of times I\u2019ve made a quick trip there to pick up that one missing ingredient I needed to complete a recipe. Or, for that last-minute item I needed before I headed out on a trip or to fill up my car with gas before I headed out. So, I\u2019m very thankful for this \u201canchor\u201d store that is so close to me. Then within a few minutes are a Lowe\u2019s, Kroger\u2019s, Aldi\u2019s, Hobby Lobby, Target, Best Buy, Staple\u2019s \u2013 all so conveniently located to me. How wonderful to be living this close to services, stores, restaurants, and medical facilities. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m quite self-contained when it comes to being able to take care of my daily needs. I can dress myself, cook and feed myself, wash my own clothes, drive to where I need to go, handle everyday surprises that come up, but when I can&#8217;t do for myself what needs to be done, I take it to the place that can do it for me. I am so grateful I live in such close proximity to all those stores that pretty well carry everything I need to take care of my necessities.<\/p>\n<p>And, when I come to the end of my rope or when I need a place of comfort from the storms of life or when I need assurance that &#8220;everything&#8217;s gonna&#8217; be alright&#8221; in my little world&#8230;..I have THE ANCHOR &#8212; not the store &#8212; but I go to the ONE Who is the ANCHOR of my soul. God is that HOPE ANCHOR. Hebrews 6:19 &#8221; We have this HOPE as an ANCHOR for the soul, firm and secure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anchor Store: a department store that is the principal tenant of a mall or a shopping center.
