Delightful Dishes

I have to start with a bit of a back story. We've been hosting weekly/bi-monthly dinners at our house for the past few months. It's to get to know our church family a bit better in a more relaxed environment. Since we've NEVER hosted a sit down dinner, we've been short on place settings and silverware. Basically the kids eat first and I wash up their setting pieces so that the adults can eat. I mentioned this to someone and for the life of me I can't remember who. I may have even posted it on facebook. I've been planning to hit up thrift stores to fill in the missing pieces, who cares if they match or not. Okay, so now on to the story. 

So yesterday was a very busy day at church. It was Scout Sunday!!! The Cubs ran the service, as far as passing out the bulletins and taking up the offering. Then we hosting a lunch for the church. We were loading up a ton of stuff, as there were lots of leftovers. Johnny wanted to take some to the homeless people that he's been helping. (along with some other church members) So we loaded them up with a hot lunch and desserts. As we were going back and forth to the truck, I noticed a box appear on the front seat. I didn't pay any attention to it, since I thought it was something Johnny put there. When it was finally time to leave Johnny asked what the box was. I told him, I thought he put it there. He denied it. The box had dishes on it, but I really thought it was full of food for the homeless. Nope, it was full of brand new dishes. I searched the car for a note. I searched the box for a "from:". Nothing. Someone heard my conversation, or read it on facebook. (like I said, I don't remember who I told) and left us a brand new set of dishes, including silverware on the front seat of our truck!!!!

My eyes welled up with tears and this simple, yet amazing gesture towards our family. I cannot believe that someone took my ramblings to heart and felt the need to buy this set for us. It's so thoughtful and heartfelt. And then to not leave a note, to not want to be recognized. It's just so amazing! If I can't see God in that act, then I might as well be blind. I really touched my heart and made my day. So to whoever it was, thank you so very much!!!
