I Threw Away $10,000. ($10,365 to be exact)
“What did you do with the $10,000 check on the tea cart?”
My husband asked me this late this afternoon.
Ten thousand dollar check?
You mean that fake check from some marketing company that I threw away a few days ago?
Dear God. That check was real.
Yes. Yes. Seems when I was gone, my husband received a check for $10,365 from our son’s college fund. This was to be deposited and then distributed by mom and dad, us, to my son’s college.
Dear Heavenly Father. That check was real.
“I threw it away. I thought it was fake.”
“You thought it was what?”
What day is it?
After a quick calculation of when I could have found the check and garbage day, I determined it likely still with us —
albeit out in the driveway in a trash can.
Did I mention all the rain we had today?
Dear Jesus let the lid have been on the can. TIGHT.
When you are looking for $10,000 (that your husband left in a space he thought you would never find it) you don’t care if the trash is all over the drive.
You just pray to God you find it.
We found it.
My son leaving for college in the morning really is not that bad.
Not as bad as it could have been.
Have you ever lost anything that could have ruined your day…or your year?
