Sunday, June 8th, I turned 33 years old. It was a great day and I appreciate all of the kind words, cards, and gifts that I received on Sunday. I also appreciate all that one of my friends did to bless me on my birthday…though I will not get to experience it.
Today, Amy called to tell me that I had gotten a birthday card from a friend at Church At The Grove. The note on the inside of the card said, “Enjoy Dinner and a Movie on us.” I love movies. And, I love Maggiano’s. This card contained gift cards to both. How cool is that?
Actually, it’s not that cool, because the envelope had been opened and the gift cards removed. Now, my friend is left trying to contact the gift card companies to report the cards stolen and I am left imagining a plate of Chicken Saltimboca and Nona’s Pound Cake. Plus, I will miss out on a great movie after my imaginary dinner.
So, if you work at the post office sorting location that the envelope went through, and you stole my gift cards, and you’re reading this…I just want to say that I hope they burn your food and I hope the movie stinks.
Proverbs 9:16-18 (New Living Translation)
16 “Come in with me,” she urges the simple.
To those who lack good judgment, she says,
17 “Stolen water is refreshing;
food eaten in secret tastes the best!”
18 But little do they know that the dead are there.
Her guests are in the depths of the grave.
