Jesus IS watching!

Aharon and I went shopping last night to finish up our wedding and honeymoon shopping. Really, we were only shopping for Aharon since getting him to go is difficult. Thus, we were out shopping in the pouring rain with only 21 days to go. He still needed a dress shirt, belt, sun glasses, shoes, shorts, and a tie. Plus we needed a tie for my dad, Nick, and Aharic. So off we went.

Things were going very smoothly. We left around 5 and by 7 we were on our way back home. About 10 minutes outside of Chesterfield, my phone rings. It's Aharon. I automatically assume he's pocket dialed me and tell him so. He begins looking around for his phone, but doesn't find it. We pull over and get out to search the car. No phone. He decides he must have left it in a fitting room. We get back in the car and turn around.

First I call Old Navy since he was most anxious to get out of there. Nothing's been found. Then I called Kohl's. Same thing. I call his phone again, and there's no answer, but the phone still rings. So it hasn't been shut off. Aharon says to call and shut off service with Verizon, hoping that if someone has it they'll think that it will never work again and will turn it in. Instead, though, I send his phone a text message.

"If you have this phone, please turn it in. We were out shopping for our wedding and don't have the money for an insurance claim. Do the right thing. Jesus is watching."

We get back to Chesterfield and decide to go to Old Navy first. Aharon is almost positive he left it here and figures it's most likely that a kid grabbed it here. We get out of the car and take one step toward the store. But then, I get a text message. From Aharon's phone!

"Kohl's customer service."

I stop walking and say, "I think your phone is at Kohl's...because it just texted me."

So, back in the car and over to Kohl's. We get to customer service and Aharon asks if anyone turned in a cell phone and describes his. The girl asks if we were the people who had called a short while earlier. I tell her yes. She then tells me that while she was on the phone with me, a guy walked into the restroom. A few minutes later, he walked out, slammed the phone down on the counter, and then walked away without saying a word.

I asked her if she had texted us saying it was at Kohl's customer service. She said no - she couldn't even figure out how to get the phone screen to turn on.

All in all, a good day.

Thanks, Jesus!
