Recently, I was having a rough day. The past was just beating me up!
So I bought lunch for myself at a local restaurant to cheer me up. The food
was good and the service was slow....maybe I was in a hurry. The next morning, I
realized my wallet was nowhere to be found. I even drove to my office prior to a
meeting looking for my wallet. I was also, watching out for the police...no wallet and driving!
So I called my credit card company to find out if any large purchases had been made--none!
So I called the restaurant prior to opening for lunch and after a few questions....they told me
my red wallet was in their safe! Three teenage boys turned it in and the restaurant employee
placed in their safe. Was that luck? Karma? Moon and stars aligned?
No, it was life. I was having a rough day so I was not paying attention to my belongings and
I dropped it in the restaurant's parking lot. What made this different and revealing? I believe faith.
Someone influenced these teenage boys and restaurant employees to do what’s right.
Hope that even though life seems bleak at times there are glimmers of Christ in all of us.
