So my wallet was stolen out of my purse while Estelle and I were out having lunch on Wednesday. Hopefully, the money will be refunded and I'll get to the DMV soon and maybe I was a little too covetous of my new Coach wallet.
Estelle wasn't hurt. I wasn't hurt. We came home a little brazen and shaken but in a good way. We came home. To family, a warm house, listening and caring ears, to many, many things to be thankful for. I pray that the two involved on the other side of the interaction find peace and reasons to smile and be thankful.
It's already helped me. Keeps me on my toes. Instead of losing some faith in humanity, I gained a little; Estelle was a champ through the confusing flurry ("your credit card got 'canced'"?), The timely vigilance of Visa, the calming confidence of P.O. Dan Kane, the understanding of the financial companies and all the other people around us bustling about their lives. We're all just trying to get by; we all have pain and wonder inside. I could see so much wonder which out-shined the pain.
It's brought me a little more awareness. I feel a little more awake...and thankful.
I was brought to a few (overwhelming, happy) tears with this morning's verses from Jesus calling...(still mulling the details over in my head with some chagrin and reproach):
When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me? Psalm 56:3-4
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:20-21
Have a great day...thanks for listening/reading...love to you xo
