I got to go to the store…

January 23, 2011Carltract distribution

Sometimes we might say, “I have to” do this or that. Like I have to go to the store or I have to go to work. But, one of the many things I learned from reading Mark Cahill’s book “One Thing you Can’t do in Heaven” is that when we phase it as “I get to” it makes it much more pleasant.

Well, today, I got to go to the store with my wife. We went first to CostCo and then to Target. It was fun to hang out with her. I got to eat lots of samples. And I got to hand out a number of Gospel tracts “as I went!”

At CostCo nearly everyone I saw got a tract. Starting with the two people checking member cards at the front door all the way to the gal at exit checking receipts. I had a mix of New Year resolution tracts and Super Bowl trivia tracts. It was so easy to simply ask people “are you going to watch the Super Bowl?” They would say yes and I hand them a tract and say “here is some Super Bowl trivia for you.” Each one said thanks. One guy asked me if anyone had said no (they are not watching the Super Bowl). But no one answered no! I must have given out at least 25 tracts in the CostCo both to the employees working the samples and also to the other customers. I even put a few into the packages of bulk drinks!

At Target I gave out several more tracts including to the lady in line in front of us, a woman who was giving samples and the cashier when we checked out.

I’ll get to go to the store with my wife again. And when I do, I’ll bring more tracts. How about you? Why not go to the store with your wife and then comment here with how you handed out tracts while you did!

As You Go…To Walmart March 21, 2022
I left several tracts out yesterday at Walmart. I gave the Seinfeld million to a Walmart employee as I told him to tell Walmart that he needed a raise. A man in front of me in line had a Christian hat on. I struck up a conversation with him, talking about the goodness of God. […]

As You Say “Thank You” October 8, 2021
It doesn’t take much to say “Thank You” to an employee at a business. I gave three Thank You tracts to Walmart employees today.

A Road Trip May 2, 2021
My wife and I took a little road trip to Vicksburg, MS. today. I gave tracts to two men from India who were going out the door of the Dillard’s clearance store. I said “Here’s something free for Dillard’s clearance shoppers.” I did the same with another young man who was going in. Two other […]

At The Gas Pump April 22, 2021
The credit/debit card slots are great places for business card size tracts. Some gas pumps have advertisements which invite Gospel tracts to be placed on.

At The Mall April 18, 2021
I gave out several tracts at the mall yesterday. Several took the Jerry Seinfeld Million. In Bath and Body works with my wife, Ziara was excited about taking one. The cashier and another employee took one. I had a good conversation with Mo, a Muslim, who was working a kiosk. He took the Seinfeld million […]

At The Hospital April 17, 2021
As I was visiting my father at the hospital this week, I placed out several tracts. The elevators and waiting areas are great places to leave them. There are many boxes with slots where tracts can be slipped into. One man said. “Where there’s a crack, leave a tract!”
