Many of you might think this is silly, but to me, it was nothing short of a miracle. I love Pearson’s mint patties! Last year, the company changed the recipe of their mint patty and also packaged it differently. I don’t like the new recipe and am very sad that they changed it. I had some patties in a mason jar hidden in my garage that I would eat when I needed something sweet. I had run out of the old kind and only had some of the new kind left. One day, I was having a bad day and was discouraged and depressed. The kind of day where you feel like everything is going wrong and your world is tumbling down. Of course, chocolate was the answer to my sorrows. I went to the garage to retrieve my stash. I opened the jar and dumped a mint into my hand. To my astonishment, one of the old mints dropped into the palm of my hand! I had searched that jar many times for one of the old ones to no avail and yet, one now lay before me. A feeling of warmth, peace, and love flowed through me. I knew at that moment that Christ was aware of me and my situation and knew just how I felt. I knew that He loved me and that I was not alone. You might be thinking, “it was only a mint,” but it was much more than a mint to me.
I love this story! I miss you!
Miss you too!
