Lost Earring

A while back I was out for frappacino's with a group of youth. On the drive back, one young lady asked me about how I thought you could find out if there was a God out there. I thought about and replied that I thought that if a person was truly looking for God. He'd show up a some point. About a week later I ran into her or perhaps more accurately she ran up to me. She had a huge grin on her face, as she explained to me that she thought she had receive a sign from God--she pointed to her earrings.

You see many years earlier she had lost one of her cherished earrings. It was a cross made of diamonds. She had looked everywhere for it. She kept the lone remaining earring in her jewelry box. When she opened her jewelry box after our conversation she found the pair of diamond cross earrings together. She couldn't explain the return of the earring except that it was a miracle and a sign from God.

I ran into this young lady today at the local market where she works. It was really cool to catch up even if it was only for a brief moment. We made plans for another frapaccino in the coming weeks. Who knows where our next conversation will lead or what God will do with it.
