A sincere thankyou to the anonymous kind person who found and returned my lost wallet.
I am finding that old age affects alertness and memory.
Hence, I have no idea where I lost my wallet on Friday morning.
Its loss had a big impact on our lives, including our toy making for the fire affected children on the south coast.
On Tuesday morning we dispatched another two boxes of toys and then attended to what had to be done with our bank accounts, my pension and driver’s licence etc. before returning home to find that while we were away a kind and thoughtful person had been and left my wallet completely intact.
Because of your kindness, we are back in full swing with our toy making.
You have been a great blessing to us and Judy and I thank you most sincerely.
This means that you are also a blessing to those we are trying to help and encourage.
The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious unto you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.
