Musings on Spiritual Matters

Someone Broke Into the Office

http://blog.sierratradingpost.com/wp-content/uploads/Skiing_on_the_4th_3.jpgYesterday, I arrived early to look over the Sunday night lesson.  This is my normal habit.  As I was walking to the office, a couple of teenagers came with me into the office.  They were there early because we were having a fellowship after the services and people were there setting up the fellowship room.  As I walked in, I did not notice anything, but than I realized that someone had been in my office.  I use to keep my office open at all times, until kids started getting in there and messing everything up.  So I now lock it.  Someone must have found a key to my room.  The person who entered did not do any damage, in fact they left something for me.  There was no name attached to it.  It was a big package that stated “To Matthew for inspiration and dedication.”  OK, what was going to be the joke.  It looked like a picture of something framed.  I have received pictures here before, the last time it was a Marmot picture.  I have had a goat tagged on facebook with my name attached to it.  So what was going to be the joke.  Fortunately, I had one of the teens open the package, if something scary jumps out, it is going to land on him not me.  As he opened the package, it was a huge framed picture of the Colorado Fourteeners.  It was beautiful, a perfect gift for me and my office.  I loved it.  It was a gift of love and appreciation.  The best kind of gift of all.  It is really nice feeling so loved in this congregation.  It was such a wonderful gift, something that I will always cherish.  Thank you to the anonymous giver.  I appreciate the love.
