To the Guy Who Stole My Stereo
Today I had off from work due to snow. Oh man it was bad, (the snow not the day off), but not quite as bad as the storm of '96. I'm just thankful for some time at home. now, onto my next letter of forgiveness
Dear Guy Who Ripped off my Stereo,
While I realize that my brother left you a prime opportunity by leaving my passenger side door unlocked, did you really need to take my stereo? Seriously, I really really really really really like my music. Without my car CD player I had to sing for entertainment. This was fine for me but not for my passengers. I also appreciate all the rummaging you did in my car trying to find something of value and worth I'm sure. I'm sorry however, that I disappointed you in that respect. Really I am. I wish I had more to offer. Like a blender for example. I had one of those in my car once for a couple of hours. I'm glad you got my speakers though, crappy as they were (apparently you're not too good at spotting good equipment), at least I don't have to see them anymore. It would only remind me of the tremendous loss I suffered when you stole my stereo. I also hope you enjoy my gospel CD's. I'm sure you needed them more than I did. God had to remind me of this as it was not my initial reaction. I especially hope you like that Israel Houghton & New Breed. It was one of my favorite CD's. Maybe that's not your taste. Perhaps you're sitting somewhere enjoying my Mercy Me CD, it's certified platinum you know. Oh, and whoever is the recipient of my stereo gets a nice surprise once they install it, my Debra Killings CD; which was brand new by the way. Big score on that one. You got the case too. I also hope you enjoy whatever else was in that Ann Taylor loft bag you took. I'm thinking you didn't see that it was being used for trash. You probably used it to carry your loot. I also appreciate you're kindness in keeping my door unlocked so as to remind me that yes indeed, I had invited you in. Most of all, I appreciate how clean you left my car; all cords in tact. You did a very nice job of taking my stereo. I should have no problem getting a new one installed.
Finally, I want to express my sincerest gratitude for reminding me that there's more in this life than the material stuff. Thanks for helping me realign my focus to God's sovereign provision. I really needed that kick in the pants. And while yes, I did feel completely violated (after all, you had your butt in my driver's seat), I thank you for the time I've had in my car to pray and sing to God minus the blaring music in the background.
In All Sincerity,
Ambra
reminding you that what you sow you sure shall reap, I know I have (smile)
