Dayle in Guatemala Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I'm so thankful. This is why: 1. I only had about $50 in it at the time. A lot of money, yes, but, I almost stopped before this happened to withdraw all my rent money for the month! So it could have been a lot worse! 2. It wasn't at gun point. Enough said about that. 3. It was easy enough to cancel our debit card and we didn't have any credit cards for them to steal. So only one phone call took care of it. 4. I had my cell phone in another place so I still have my phone. 5. I didn't have anything not worth losing in my purse. No pictures, no personal items, nothing that can't easily be replaced! So, God is good. He protects and keeps us. I'm just grateful that it wasn't something traumatic.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnTheBrink Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I'm thankful you weren't hurt. In situations such as these, it makes me feel better to think that maybe the thief was in a desperate state and NEEDED my money. Maybe that's too Pollyanna-ish, but it keeps me from being angry about it. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
********* Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I'm so sorry. I had my wallet stolen once. At a church building. :001_huh: Not fun. Then, over the summer, when we had lost power for three days because of a storm, I left my wallet in a shopping cart at the local grocery store. Right after I finished freaking out, going back to the store to look, telling my husband, and canceling our cards, guess who pulled up into our driveway? The nice lady that found my wallet at the store. I was very encouraged, relieved, and thankful. But, to be completely honest, I wished she had turned it in at the store! Would've saved me a lot of hassle! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Alfred Academy Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Love your attitude! :001_smile: It's so easy to look at the "bad" in a bad situation...such as this, but you are looking on the "sunny side"...(taking notes from you!)!
