...to lock your car doors lest unwanted garden produce appear on your front seat. But then...it could also be wanted, very wanted produce. As in my case.
One night I went out to my car to go home and found a box of canned green beans! I squealed in delight and ran back in to find out who the guilty party might be. You never can tell about sisters...they do the strangest things...but I love 'em for it!

So Much Bigger!
Dusk was falling and the light fast fading as I headed home Sunday night. The refreshing breeze and bright moonlight beckoned to me as I pulled in my driveway. I jumped out of my car, ran inside, grabbed an apple and headed back out.
As I pulled my lawn chair out of its dusty corner I thought I detected a faint sound of music. I looked up to see 6 neighbor children headed down the road, 5 with instruments and the youngest on a bike. They were just at the end of my drive and called out to me, "Would you like some music?" Without hesitation I replied, "Sure!"
I pulled my chair out of its bag and settled on the deck as they gathered round. They proceeded to play 3 numbers for me. Sitting out on the deck, lovely breeze blowing, moon brightly shining, moonbush blooming, heavenly music...what more could I want??
Much too soon it was over and they went on their merry way, probably never knowing how much this weary heart had been touched. For a very long time I sat there, with tears streaming down my face, whispering, "Thank you, Jesus, thank you!"
Suddenly, the week I had been dreading, with an overwhelming amount of work, didn't look so big because MY GOD IS BIGGER, so much BIGGER!
