Red Letter Day!

So the other day I was thinking, "I should just call the Del Mar Fair to see if my camera happened to be turned in." But before I did, I get a phone call from Disneyland. Disneyland you say? That's weird. That's what I thought. So a really nice lady says to me, this is so and so from the Disneyland Resort. And I'm like, ok....? And she says, we have a guest that has found your camera and passports! (Referring to my Disneyland season passes.) I was confused. Really confused. I didn't leave my camera at Disneyland!? Then she added, she said she found it at the fair. I was like, "are you serious!?!? Are you serious?!?!" She was all cheery like, "yeah, she said she found it with your Disneyland passes in it so she decided to see if we could contact you." It all made sense. I guess the last time we went to Disneyland, I forgot to take out my passes. I put them in there because I usually just carry my camera case around when I leave the stroller for rides. Crazy thing is, I didn't even realize my passes were in there until I got the call! If I would have realized that I really would have freaked. So she says, "She gave me her name and number for you to contact her." Still in shock I took down the info and thanked her like 10 times. Then at end of the call she says, "Have a magical day!" Sooo cheesy I know but so fitting and funny at the same time.

So I call the number ---a 951 number by the way (meaning local to me--- only to get a voicemail but while leaving the message, she calls back. When I answered she explained that she and her husband had found my camera on the choo choo train ride late that Saturday night we went, which was the last ride I went on with the kids. They figured it would be safer with them as they tried to find the owner than to trust a worker at the Fair's lost and found.....I am SOOO glad they did. She then told me she lived in Menefee! I couldn't believe it. I'm not sure how many times I told her, "There are good people in the world!" I know so many people I told about my lost camera pretty much said, "Good luck getting that back! No one's going to return it!" I really had just settled with the fact that it was gone. I was so grateful for her honesty and making the effort to find me. Funny thing is, she actually googled me and found my blog and if you look at the comments under my post on the fair, she had just posted a comment telling me she found my camera!

I guess it was a good thing our passes were in there or it would have been unidentifiable. Crazy huh? I know. So if you think there are no miracles these days...think again. It was truly and answer to prayers...a lot of prayers... and it really was a tender mercy from the Lord. He could care less about a stinkin' camera but because it's important to me, I know it's important to Him. Yes! There is good in the world!!!!!
