Pleasantly surprised!

Wow! That is quite a huge surprise! I personally haven't been surprised like that, but I did manage to find my long-lost prepaid cell phone on Mother's Day! Which was quite lucky considering I hadn't seen it in a good six months. It was under the passanger seat of my car. .

Well what a nice surprise for you, I'm sure it helped you out alot. I like to hear stories like this about a Christian church helping people out, that's one of the things we're supposed to do as Christians is to show compassion for people and to help each other out. I get so tired of hearing people putting Christians down and saying that they're this and that, I hope your story will help people to see how loving most Christians are..Have a good day

Wow, a 50 dollar surprise. That's nice! Way to go. I get all excited if I find a toonie in my pocket.

Hi macdingolinger, Yes it is a very pleasant surprise that your gift card was actually worth 50$ more than you thought. I have never ever given a gift card by anyone . Actually in India i have yet to see anyone have one, may be the gift cards dont exist here . Though i wish we too had some form of gift cards and it would be nice to get some extra money to spend this way. Congratulations for getting such a nice gift card.

I haven't been surprised that way, which to me that was your miracle for that day.. One day though, which I do this as often as I can, I was helping the church with the food pantry, they didn't have enough people that morning to run it so I joined in and just started helping them out. I only live two doors from this church. It was a good day to help, it was this last month the day before Easter Sunday. We were cleaning up after the pantry closed when one of the ladies asked me if I would like a Turkey. I was like huh, then said yes we could use it. So I took home a huge turkey that day. The reason I am writing this is because we are going through some real hard times, we had nothing for Easter Dinner this year. So my miracle of that day was the surprise of having something for Easter Dinner. We were able to build a meal from that, that everyone enjoyed Easter Sunday. I felt so blessed from that, no one can imagine unless they went through something simular. Miracles happen everyday, we just need to recognize them for what they truly are.. God bless you one and all..

I recall for a long time and find there's no such wonderful experince in my life.But i have ever encountered many kind-hearted people,they helped me generously.I'm so graceful for them ,they had helped me leap over hardships.Mircle is rare but it exists indeed.Thus when we're depressed don't forget to be hopeful.

This Mother's Day was almost overwhelming with surprises. My husband and daughter went out and bought me a book. They then found out that the one they bought was given to me for Christmas by my sister. I love to read Christian books and had a few on my wish list but had not shared that with them. My husband insisted on returning the book right away and in the meantime turned around and bought me three books that I have wanted for such a long time. My husband then brought home a dozen red roses and the most beautiful words in a card. My daughter gave me a funny little card and some mini journals. I like to write down things in journals that really strike me that I can use to encourage myself and others. Then after all of that they took me out for breakfast and we went to the movie theater after that. What an amazing day. I am so happy for you and the kindness that others have shown you.
