More blessed to give than receive...?

Two fun things happened this week. One I found a gift card with a receipt inside the folder in a parking lot. It had a substantial amount on it but with some detective work I was able to find the store that sold it and they were able to find the person that bought it. I sent it to the store with a note and I said "It makes me smile to imagine your smile at getting it back." The second thing I found this week was a purse. It was near a garbage can, with a torn strap and contained no wallet or cash or credit cards, so in my mind i thought someone had torn it from someone's arm and stole the valuables. There was business cards inside and I was able to locate the owner. It was rather mundane..she was in the process of switching purses as she had torn the strap and accidentally left it there with important things still inside. When I spoke to her, I told her I would drop it by the next day. And just for fun, I repaired the strap and left her a note inside that said "pay it forward". You know what? That made my day.This has been a bit of a sucky week. Broken washer. Wrong thing delivered. More lesions in my mouth all over my tongue. A funeral tomorrow for a dear friend. Rain rain and more rain causing leaks. My body is so sore I can hardly walk. My hands hurt so badly I feel like crying...yet...yet...yet...life is good and sweet and pure and holy.And some people who thought they lost something got it back.I am talking about me. JOY.
