Cosmic Order Restored ~
Yesterday morning at 7 a.m. I drove to a field of flowers nearby. You cut whatever flowers you want and drop a few coins in a metal container on leaving. I wanted a bouquet of zinnias for my wife's birthday. This morning I discovered that my expensive flower shears were missing and thought I might have left them there. If that were the case, there would hardly be a chance that they were there, but I drove back anyway. Low and behold, there they were right in the middle of the path where I had left them. How many people had been there and not seen them, God only knows!

A wonderful story, Cheryl. I am a believer in the Good Sams out there.
Well, I guess I am on the other side of the coin, so to speak. As a young married woman, I was struggling to make ends meet. I went to the bank and cashed my paycheck and withdrew enough more to cover the months rent. I stopped at a sandwich shop and had a quick bite. About 3 hours later at the office to pay my rent, the bank envelope was missing! I was in a dead panic, I raced back to the sandwich shop all the while panicing. What would I do? I don't remember if I prayed or bargined with God, but he must have been looking out for me that day. When I walked in the young man who was there earlier looked at me and smiled, he reached under the counter and miracle of miracles handed me the missing emvelope. He said, "I was hoping you would come back for this." Here was a kid who probably made $5.00 and hour and he chose to be honest and give me back the envelop which contained $600. I was never so grateful in my life, and I even cried a little. I thanked him over and over, and as I walked away I told him the one thing my mom used to say , "Hun, your momma raised you right."
