The Saga of The Pink Visor (pics included)

Do you remember the blog from last week? If you didn't you can read it here. Here's the quick version- on our Vacation, Faith lost her favorite pink visor while we were at Disneyland. Gabe had a great commentary for her as we were leaving the park, "Faith, if you love something set it free".

Most of you know the second part of that phrase, and its "And if it comes back to you, its yours". Well, the day after Faith lost the visor, we went to the lost and found at Disneyland and put in a request for Faith's visor.

I have to be honest with you. Disneyland sees about 50,000 visitors a day, so I figured this was an exercise in futility. But, being the father that I am, I wanted to show my daughter that Daddy was willing do whatever it took to get that visor back. The lady at the window had us fill out a form, took our address and said that if the hat comes in before we leave town, they'll call us, but if not, they'll send it to us.

You can probably imagine our surprise this last Friday when we got a padded envelope addressed from Anaheim California. Crystal and I knew exactly what it was. We were so excited for Faith! We went inside, brought her up to the kitchen table, and had her open the envelope. I can't describe how excited she was, but she squealed "My Visor!" and proudly put it on.

There's a few scenarios that play out here.

1. Some worker at Disneyland found the visor and turned it in.

2. Some person who was at Disneyland found it and turned it in.

Either one of those options warms my heart. Apparently there is some good left in this world. I would think that most people wouldn't take the time to turn in a kids visor at an amusement park, but someone did. Furthermore, that Disneyland would send it to us, is an added measure of goodness.

Here's the best part- We had prayed with faith (and Faith) and asked God to bless her with her visor and left it in His hands, and he delivered.

This small little gesture imparts hope in my daughter that God does move on people to answer the prayers of his people. Its exciting to know that no matter how big or small, God is still in the business of blessing people.

Remember that today. It may not be a pink visor for you, but God does still bless.

Be blessed today.
