Today, I had my third of four bridal showers (the fourth one is tomorrow). There were many wonderful people there and it was a good time of fellowship. But there was one event that stood out a bit from the rest of the time there.
Muriel is a good friend of our family and she has become an adopted third grandmother to me over the years. Before I opened her gift this afternoon, she told everyone about one of the first times she remembers of me. (I don't remember this). She told a story about when I was 3 and I walked away from my mom for a moment to stand by Muriel. I started twirling around a bit and said "I really (weally) like your jewelry."
At this point (today) she started walking towards me and said "Well, Kelsey...this is the jewelry that I was wearing that day." She took the bracelet and watch off of her wrists and handed them to me. Oh. My. Goodness. I wanted to cry right then and there...but frankly, I think I was too flabbergasted to do such a thing. How in the world did she remember the exact jewelry she was wearing that day, 18 years later?!
God knew. He always has ways of showing us how much He loves and cares for us. It's just so intriguing to see how much He uses one of His precious saints like Muriel so many times to do that very thing.
