Lost & Found

We had a lovely Easter. Because Richard had to go to work early in the afternoon, we went to a new church with a different meeting time. The music was wonderful, the sermon right on and the people friendly... but most important of all the Spirit of God was in that place.

What a blessing to celebrate the Lord's resurrection with others of like mind and heart. It is so good to be part of the family of God!

As we were getting ready to leave for church, I remembered something I forgot to bring (I don't now recall what) so put my Bible on the roof of the car and ran back into the house. When we got to church I realized the Bible was not with me. After we got home, Richard left for work and I drove back to the church searching for my Bible all along the way. Nothing.

I will miss that Bible. I've written notes in it for several years now and I refer to them often. Also, it had large enough print to read with ease and enough margin space for me to write lots of notes. It was just full of great illustrations and charts, too. Finding another one like it will not be easy since I don't remember it's title or publisher. All I know is that is was NIV.

I am praying for the return of my Bible OR that it be found by someone who will read it and perhaps gain some insight from my notes which the Lord inspired. I know God will put a good outcome to the loss of my Bible.

On the other hand, my Mac is now healthy again. I finally had to erase the hard drive and was able to use my backup to restore everything just fine, not one piece of data lost (that I know of, anyway). Praise God! He is so absolutely cool!

AND I found my long lost feather duster! How about that?! I can't explain this, but it was in the filing cabinet, of all places. I'm truly glad to have it back because Wal-Mart didn't have any like it. This is one of those big brown ones with long, luxuriant feathers... Looks good enough to wear, ha ha. But I am so pleased to have it back and happy the mystery is solved.

Well, I'd better get some sleep. Tomorrow, I need to be well rested as I try to do the taxes. At least, thanks to answered prayer, I won't need to take the Mac to be repaired.
