Lost and Found


Saturday, Bob was out and had his phone and his Nook. Somehow, (we aren't sure how) the Nook didn't make it home.  Yet Bob remembers having it when he was picked up.  We spent the afternoon looking around the house and searching the car for it, to no avail, and we went to bed assuming we would find it the next day in the house somewhere.

Sunday morning before we left for church he got an email from someone who found it, asking to meet up to return it.  We hadn't thought it was gone yet to even pray for its safe return.

Monday night he met the person at the bus station they found it at to get it back.  And we are in awe of God's goodness.  First, it was not found even in the area of town where Bob lost it, but much closer to our house.   Someone seems to have picked it up, rode a bus into town, and then themselves lost it at a bus stop further down the route. Or maybe whoever found it first didn't like the book selections on it and dumped it somewhere else.   Second, of all the people in Orlando to find it and email us, it was someone we knew from church! What a surprise to meet them at the bus stop!

Bob has his Nook back safe and sound and we are in awe.  

God is Good!

I came over from Tell Me a Story. I love your blog and your hearts...

My daughter is a "failed" Missionary too. I put it in quotes, for the same reason you do. She moved to South Africa when she was 19. All alone. She eventually married a South African and she and Niel had a large missions ministry. Long story short. 11 years into their marriage he had an affair with an American woman on their staff. He left the ministry and divorced Alece. She's now back in the States. Picking up a new life.

I'm sure there were many times she feels like she was a "failed" missionary. Nothing is further from the truth.

God bless you and your family and all you do for God's Kingdom and especially Bible translations!
