Have you ever lost anything, then months later found it? Whether the item is big or small...important or not so important, the feeling and emotion that comes with finding the object is flat out worth loosing it! I am extremely good at loosing things, especially earrings. I have lost earrings time and time again, every now again I can't find the missing pair, but quite often I get extremely lucky! The other day I was in a bunch of bush and dirt taking some photo's, it was at the grocery store afterwards that I realized I was missing one of my earrings! I LOVED this certain pair...it was getting dark and I had a choice to make, either go home and get started on dinner for my starving family or run back to the site and look for my earring! Of course I went back and looked for my earring, haha!! I had looked for about 10 minutes, retracing my steps. And all of a sudden, there it was! Sitting right on top of a pile of dirt...relief!!! I think I may have even shed a tear..if I can get so excited and emotional over a tiny earring, think of the JOY that the Lord gets when one of His children return to Him!
Anyway...the bee. Camille is a child who loves to hide things, then find them again! (She is incredible at re-finding things...her memory is amazing!) When we go into the store, she'll often find something little, carry it around for a while then hide it when she sees a cabinet or something that opens. I'll ask her, "Camille, do you want to hide that toy or take it home with us?" She will always respond, "hide it!" and that's what we do! (and occasionally we'll put it back where we found it, haha) Camille was given this little bee when she was just an infant...it had a little bit of sentimental value to it (to me anyway) since it had been with us since the beginning. We had taken a road trip to see a friend in Florida in April, and she had hid that little bee somewhere in the house...only this time, we couldn't find it! We seriously looked for probably 30minutes before I decided it was just a bee, it's ok! I was a little sad, leaving it...but I had forgotten about it until today!!! We received a cute little package with this note and the tiny little bee..it was found! She had hid it in a coffee pot in the pantry, haha!! What a silly girl. I was thrilled to see this little bee, I can't wait to see where we can loose it again :)
well...when Camille woke from her nap, I showed her the lost bee. I think she was excited to see it because she took it, held on to it real tight and said "It'll be safe with me...."
