The Teddy Bear...found his way back... to the rabbit hole. Along with everything else, that was stolen.

The Lord... Truly... works in Mysterious ways.

: )

I, knew... when the things were stolen, over The Memorial Day Weekend Sale....

like, everything else... that 'Happens'... that makes me go... "Hmmmmmm?"

I always, always... get a 'wink'... and find out, 'who'...or, 'where'...it comes from.

Who... is 'behind it'. 

Sometimes... it takes a while.

Days... weeks... months, even...years.

but...

I always... find out.

I don't always 'act' on the information...

I file it away. : )

With this situation... I 'Acted'. 

I was at a Friends, Sale... on Sunday...late in the day, he had an old sign for me.

Who do you think... came walking up the drive, as I was getting ready to leave?

'The Girl'.

The Girl... whom, I was sure... had taken many, many things... from the rabbit hole.

She didn't notice, me.

I walked up to her... and asked her, if...she remembered me.

: )

She smiled, and said she did.

 : )

I reminded her... she had some things... she'd forgotten to pay for...at The Sale.

: )

She denied it... then, when I told her... of the Folks, who could identify her, and saw her carrying things, that...were gone, after she left... she put the blame...on her friend, that was with, that day.

I wasn't hearing any of it.

I asked her... if she'd like me to call the Sheriff... who took my statement, maybe... he'd have the patience to listen to 'it', but...I didn't.

{I saw her lips...moving... but, didn't hear a word... all I heard was...

"Lie...lie...lie... Lie...lie... lie."

Finally...

She gave me her friend's name and phone number....{I asked her for them... then, after a few minutes... I asked her to repeat it all. : ) }
 said, they had parted ways....

She...was afraid of him...

{I knew...better.... : ) and,...of course... He said the same... about her. : ) }

 and....he put it all...on her. 

: )

They both...tried to tell me...how difficult their lives were, and how the other... was soooo awful.

: )

I explained to them... what 'Awful'...and 'Loss'...are. 

Told 'em... my heart... is like a slice of Swiss Cheese....full of Holes, from the last couple of years.

again, I wasn't hearing Any...of 'It'...from them.

I said........ 'Theft'... doesn't happen, down the rabbit hole.

It's My Sanctuary.

It's All I've got.

Everything...there, was brought there... because it's soulful... and, I love it.

I told them both...

 'This Is Personal'. 

Told them... I felt God... had a Hand... in us meeting, and He must... care deeply...about them.

I told them both...they needed to 'get together'... because

they had 24 hours, to bring back the 'Soulfulness'... or, I was going to call The Sheriff.

{and...That's something... I wouldn't wish... on them, or anyone. }

She, called... and said... "well... what if I can't find it all?" 

; )

I told her, and her friend... I had 'Faith'... that they Could. : )

I told them both... what I told the Sheriff, when he took my statement.

"Losing... these things... that I care about... is painful, but... a minor loss... to what those two, and their Families...have endured, and lost... because... I'm sure...they were on drugs."

{The Sheriff, thought so...too. As did... Everyone...here. Mark... was actually... 'Nervous'... about them, and took precautions....unbeknownst to me.  }

I explained to them... I could feel...a black cloud... around them, when they were here.

They, need to find a way.... to get that monkey off their backs. It'll take 'em...down.

I said... I'm giving you a chance, here... to make things right.

Most, wouldn't... but... I Feel... The Lord... is wanting me to send this message.

"You are Loved.

Today...is a New Day."

Within 4 hours... everything...was returned. 

I'll keep them both... in my Prayers.

I, Hope... you will...to. 

Love, to ya...

{I explained to these 'Kids'.. who are around 30. : )
I'm no angel... and Nobody... is Perfect.
We All... make mistakes.
and...
We All...must...take it... 'One Day...at a Time.'.
but...
Today, we have to do The Best... we can. After all, 'This'... is All... we have.
We're not promised... 'tomorrow'.  }
I said... much...more, to those Kids.
{they brought their Wonderful... Much Loved...and Well Cared For... Hound, with,
 when they brought The Soulfulness...back.}
I thought of the above tune... as I spoke to them. oh my.
Yep... a Train won't run... on a torn up track. <3
Make It... 'Straight'. : )  }
