The gift that kept on giving!!!

I either want to cry or laugh...or both but haven't and won't...I am just dumbfounded...a bit shocked but feel like it all worked out in a way that was meant to be....here is the story:

Several weeks ago there was a knock on our door and I went to open it and there was a big frozen turkey in a grocery bag on our doorstep! I yelled "Thank You" closed the door and put it immediately in our garage freezer with the other two turkeys I bought previously during Thanksgiving.

So my friend Emily just had a baby before Thanksgiving and they have been struggling a bit since she's not been working and she has family coming into town tomorrow...there will be about 20 plus people...anyway I offered to give her the turkey that was given to us since it was the biggest and we still had 2 others...so tonight on our way to go see The Festival of Lights I dropped off the Turkey.

We got home and she had called me and asked me to call her back...when I did she said "Amy, did you leave something in the turkey?" I said "No"....thinking how can I leave anything IN the turkey it's frozen....anyway she went on to tell me there was a $100 giftcard to Walmart....HELLO!!!! I gifted away a gift that was more than just a turkey....I felt funny, sad...really not even those feelings...just this dumbfounded feeling I can't even describe...and then she was like I told Aaron you probably didn't even know it was there and you want it back?? and I was like heck ya which I did say...but then I continued on to say "You just keep it....I had no idea it was there....I didn't give you a baby gift and you can use it so....Merry Christmas...."

So I have no clue who was soooo kind to give that gift to us... but know you blessed two families with your gift....what a great gift that was to us and that it was given away to another family that we love who needed it more! Thanks so much secret $Turkey giver!!!

I almost feel bad because had I known there was the money there I would still have gifted the turkey but kept the money...I'm pretty sure of it...but I feel this deep feeling of peace knowing that I wasn't supposed to find it and that it all worked out the way it did for a reason! It's pretty cool!

ah...
