The Easter Parable of the Hearing Aid

Last night as Karly and Brian were pulling out of the parking space across the street from our house, Karly called and asked Bob if he had lost one of his hearing aids? He checked both ears...nope they were in. Someone had lost it.... Across the street is the Catholic church and the Fish fry was going on, so we knew that someone lost it then. So, we decided to wait until today to go over and let the priest know that if anyone lost one, we had it.

I got up this morning and went for a mile bike ride; came home huffing and puffing, but decided I needed to put my Detroit Tiger's flag out on the front porch. As I was putzing out there, a SUV pulled up and a woman got out (not unusual since it is public parking); she was talking on her cell phone walking up and down the parking spaces (not unusual because some people pace as they talk); she then went over to the storm drain and looked down...now that's kind of weird. So I walked over to her and yelled a few times, finally she looked up and I asked her; "This may sound strange, but did you loose a hearing aid?" She hung up her phone and burst into tears. Indeed she had...she had been up all night worrying about it.

This morning Bob went to church and before he left he had prayed that the person who lost it, we could somehow find him/her because we know how costly those things are.... She left and I had my "warm and fuzzy" feeling going on when someone knocked on the door, it was her with a pot of yellow tulips, I keep telling her it wasn't necessary, but she insisted; we hugged again and wished each other a Happy Easter..

So this is my little Easter miracle...it's all in the timing.... If I hadn't been on the front porch at that exact moment, had went for a longer bike ride, hadn't decided to put the flag up, if she hadn't pulled in the parking spot to look right then....it may have taken us longer to find her....you may believe that this was all a coincidence, not in my book....I believe in God's timing.... Have a blessed Easter...

May life treat you kindly... Until again...
