Now, on the other side of the cornfield, there are those that offer something more than mere money for our wares, something... priceless.
The first time it happened, I thought; "well, someone is just well-wishing". Although the crucified Jesus is certainly my least favorite image of him, I figured we were blessed by someone.
When it happened again, I thought "how blessed we are, people really care about our mortal souls, and they like what we are doing here, and this is their seal of approval".
This one even had a prayer on the back!
Okay, so the third and fourth times it happened, I wondered if it was the same people leaving religious tokens, and were they leaving them in leu of money or in addition to it? Did they have a collection of this stuff, and didn't quite know what to do with it, and saw a convenient delivery slot? Maybe their message wasn't that they liked what we were doing, but felt we needed saving, as we are really bad bad people?
Then, like a sign from above, a note reassured us that all was okay.
Honesty really is a great thing, and though we try not to be like Charlie Brown being fooled by Lucy with the football over and over again, it's so important to be able to trust people. Along with love, it really is what makes the world go 'round.
So, keep spreading the love and trust around to everyone you meet, and whatever religion or ideal you believe in, may it guide you to a happy and fulfilling life.

Maybe they think it's a prayer box. hahaha. Gotta love getting hand written notes though :) People are fascinating!
ReplyDeleteJust got back from a fabulous trip to the mountains. Foliage up there is at its most magnificent. Came back and found your own version of a spiritual experience. Hmmmm. If you made this up, no one would believe it! At least they aren't leaving voodoo dolls!
ReplyDeleteIt was so fun when you used to blog... :)
