Joy of the finder

It was on the train on Sunday with Kristin that I realised my sermon book was missing! My whole countenance changed.
My thoughts rush back to where I put it. I msg my friend if it was in the car. Nope. I remember. I left it outside Rock at the bench when I went in audi to pass my friend a card. I bought a new note book and kept the old along with it in the plastic bag.
I called Rock bookshop and it was closed.
Monday came, I called them again to help me check and they said it was not there. Called New Creation lost and found dept and they told me the same thing.
My heart just sank.
All the sermon notes and notes that I've kept since New Creation gave us the free diary book two years back is all gone...
I lie down on my bed on Wednesday morning in disbelief. It feels like the day I lost my dog who has been with me for 12years. It's no longer in my life.
I said a simple prayer to God that morning. I know it's impossible but Lord help me find it.
Wednesday afternoon. I receive a missed call and when I called back, the lady on the other line sounded happy. I knew I was expecting a good news and it really was. They found it!!!
Someone returned it that morning. I can't tell you how happy I was.
I can imagine how excited Jesus would be when one soul makes his way to heaven. And I'll never forget the joy I receive that afternoon in finding what's precious to me.
