Being Blessed....11-6-10

Nov 06, 2010

Work can be hard, band can be frustrating...life can be...well hard....  I bit back I treated myself to an iphone as reward for working hard and losing weight... I love the net skills it has :)  anyhow... I'm a member of a group called free-cycle... where if you have something you don't need you can post to give to someone else, folks email you, you pick one of them and give it to them...nothing is sold. If you have a need for something you can post that as well....

Well free time at class yesterday and I used my phone to check my email....   
Free-cycle:   WANTED.... My wedding dress is ruined two weeks before my wedding no time to order a new one like I want.  I need a wisteria colored gown if someone has one to offer I would be most grateful.

Hmmm... isn't that gown in the closet that color? (It looks blue in pic but its not it is wisteria colored)  I decide it is and when I get home I take it out and take a pic to send to the girl to see if she would like to have it.   Emails of such joy FLOOD MY BOX!  She is so excited to please come get it.  I tell her its hers and that I will bag it on the porch for her.  She emails me thanks and I go on about my day.  (Today is Saturday and I worked very hard to have the day with my son, we went to two huge flea markets, watched world war two planes fly, ordered pizza  (for him) and how he is watching a movie he bought at the flea market.  

There is a knock at my door....
I lady is standing there nearly in tears and smiling so brightly.....squeezing the bag the gown is in as though it might fly away if she let it go.... :) she hugged me and thanked me many times she told me how the wedding was coming and she was so sick not knowing what she was going to do, she didn't really have the money to replace the first gown and now God sent her this one..   Yes, I told her ...that's how it works...God puts things on your heart and you have to act on them, you never know the life you might impact. :)  She hugged me again and handed me a envelope, this is for you... You have no idea how much this means to me.  I asked her to email me a pic of her special day, she promised she would...but you know what.....  just knowing that yrs from now she will remember the stranger that had a dress in the right size, color and style to give to help to make her special day bright......   ya I'm okay with that too :)  

I opened the card after she left.... it reads....

Many thanks for your kindness     My prayer is that it will return to you with extra measure.   ~Lynn

hehe and she put a McDs gift card in there :)  ( I told my boy I would treat him to something from there sometime, he was tickled.)  So  lets see .....
