I am just sitting here bawling, Leslie. The Lord works in mysterious ways.
Remember something else: I think I speak for alot of us in saying that we would never let you go without something you and the family need. I can't stand to see anyone suffer and I know this community is full of people like me. You always have help here too. Whether it be in the form of being here for you or helping with other things. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}
My offer still stands. Don't hesitate to ask.
I'm glad that Quinn helped you to see.
I feel terrible for you, but next time you lose hope and don't want to be nice because the world is not nice to you, just remember, it is only the weak that allow others to mold them, it is the strong who stand up for what is right and who are not afraid to be themselves. Even if that means you do not see immediate results for being nice. Someday you might have to make the decisions in a situation like this. But you might be on the other side. Someone might lose their purse with their precious child's pictures in it, and the only money they had left. Would you want to do to them what was done to you? I doubt it. It is the good people like you that keep the world from going to total hell. Humanity may be disgusting, but you don't have to be
I've often found that one of the greatest 'rewards' was the smile and look of relief on the people's faces that I had done something nice for. And of course, the hug from a child that loves you at the end of the day. I know those pictures are worth a lot to you, but Quinn being there, HER not being stolen, that's worth so much more than those pics ever could be. Believe me, I know. I'm sure you do as well. So, if you teach Quinn to grow up to be a compassionate person, then the world will be made a little better. There's another reward for you. :)
I wanted to thank everyone for the prayers. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I know it was the multitude of prayers that brought my purse back to me, but it's back!!! The Walmart that it was stolen from, called tonight after we got back from grocery shopping (at another Walmart, I was never going to go back to that Walmart again) and I can hardly believe it!
My hubby is still on his way home, but he called me and said everything is in it (that he can tell) except the money, which we figure is a finders fee. I didn't want the money, I mostly wanted my Quinn pics back, and he said they're there!!!! I'm so happy!!!!!! Thank you everyone who prayed!!!! Thank you to the person who probablly felt bad and returned it!!! Thank you to God for this huge lesson!!!!
Whooo Hoooo!!!! OMG I've been crying again!!! I'm so happy :D :D :D
good thing DO hapen to good people....
glad everything is back.. and I almost jumped knowing you got your pics back... better make copies of them all ;)
Just noticed your post - I'm so happy for you that you got all your stuff back. The money is so unimportant compared to the rest of the stuff. And maybe the person who took the money really needed it but didn't want to hurt you by tossing your stuff and pictures out. Wonderful ending to your story.
Oh, Leslie, how wonderful! I guess this has to be a major surprise for you and us all. Good things do happen to good people! Congratulations!
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D
I am so happy to hear this. thank God your things were returned to you
See there? Your good deeds didn't go unnoticed after all. And you still have what's most valuable to you plus you learned a valuable lesson. This made my day. :)
THats pretty sweet you got your stuff back. Good things do happen.
YAAAAYYY! Leslie I am sooo incredibly happy to hear this! Good things DO happen!:love::love::)
Good news!:D
WOW! I wonder if it was the Quinn pics that moved her to return the purse?
Leslie, that is GREAT!
I've been waiting to see this thread. I actually wondered earlier today if you had gotten your purse back yet. Aren't you glad you didn't go stealing signs now? ;) I'm very happy for you. Never doubt yourself again!
Leslie, that's wonderful news!!! :D
A wonderful deed has been done for a wonderful person..........money is money - but Quinn's pictures cannot be replaced. And you loved that purse too didn't you?
Awe... I'm so glad you got it back!! Figures the money would be gone, but glad the rest of the contents were there.
I've been praying for you, and for the return of your purse ever since I've read your first post on this thread..
God does indeed answer prayers..
Thanks be to God!
Oh that is so great. :)
My thoughts exactly! Leslie I am so happy for you! ;)Quote:

Glad you got your stuff back, Leslie. My family photos mean the world to me as they are a part of who I am. I know how you must've felt. Did they happen to say WHERE wallet was found? A dumpster? That's usually where they end up.
I felt tears in my eyes when I read that you got your wallet and pictures of Quinn back. :) I am so happy for you.
Wow, that's terrific news.:) This makes my day. I'm so happy for you.
p.s. The purse didn't have any doggie teeth marks, did it? :D
I'm just seeing that you got it back. Amazing!!! That is such wonderful news.
Yes indeed. A wonderful lesson has been learned. I will never forget it.Quote:
