Can you trust UPS with your package???


What a lovely spring-like day we had!

I started my day, as I usually do on Thursdays, at my pastor's wife's house for a prayer meeting. It is SUCH a strengthening time for me. Those ladies are so absolutely THERE for me, and I am really thankful to God for them.

I had a practice with my middle school worship team again today, and we made great strides in pulling loose ends together to make things flow smoothly. That feels really good.

And this evening I finally got to stay home.

Jeremy called this evening, more than a little outraged at UPS. He's going on a four-day cruise to the Bahamas this weekend, leaving tomorrow. He discovered a few weeks ago that he could not find his birth certificate, which he needed, so he paid money to get a new one quickly. As of today, it still had not come! This afternoon he got a phone call from a lady who lives in a different area of his town, saying she found a UPS package lying in the street, addressed to him!!! Thank God, it had his phone number on the outside of the package, and thank God, also, that it was an honest lady who found it! He has had several phone conversations with UPS since then, in which they apologized profusely, saying that two UPS drivers met to transfer things from one truck to the other, and apparently dropped his package. However, in the event no one had found it or called him, UPS would not have been held responsible for losing it. And he would have missed the cruise!! Unbelievable. Needless to say, he doesn't think he'll be using UPS again!

Oh my gosh...I read that story just cringing...that is awful and the worst part is that with companies like that, they aren't responsible for losses even if it is clearly their fault! I am glad and honest person found his package and it all worked out...God had a hand in that, for sure!

It's so nice to know there are still lots of honest people out there. One found George's wallet and returned it recently. Hope he enjoys his cruise.

So glad he won't miss his cruise! It is nice that there are a few honest people still left in the world!

Zack works at a local restaurant here, found an envelope with $350 cash in it and gave it to his manager. He was feeling the "pangs" of being honest! The person did come back for it and I told Zack that if it were him that lost it, he would have appreciated an honest young man like Zack turning it in!
