DOLLARS FROM HEAVEN
The twins seem to have come up with a new form of freeganism, where they literally recycle cash. Actually, it's just a series of unexplained coincidences. Throughout the month they repeatedly found five, ten, and twenty dollar bills lying on the ground, totaling nearly a hundred dollars over the month. Just further evidence that God is able to provide in any number of different ways if we are faithful to do his will.
You know, Dave, I often wonder about some base difference we have. I think this snippet from your newsletter tells something.
When I was about 7 years old, I was on my way home from school when I saw a 10 shilling note lying on the footpath. I took it to the police station, as I was sure someone had lost it, and would want it back. Now you have to think back to 1958 or so to think about what a 10 shilling note would be worth to a 7 year old girl..
I still remember the day 3 months later, when a policeman came to our door, and said that nobody had reported losing it, and that it was by law therefore mine.
I have lost money in the street. On two occasions I have dropped my wallet, and once it was returned to me, with the money. I was so grateful to the person who returned it to me.
I have also had two occasions of finding a wallet dropped in the street. The owners were overjoyed, and I got a great feeling of goodness by returning them to their owners.
If I were to find money in the street today, I would still hand it in. I know what it is like to lose money, and I am always uplifted by the spirit of those who are honest and hand what they find in to the right place...
No, it's not "Dollars from Heaven" as you say in your newsletter. They are dollars someone has lost. I can't believe that you have an approach that says these are your dollars, let alone that you could claim that they are DOLLARS FROM HEAVEN.....an abomination of a concept!
I think this finally illustrates to me the different places we come from....
