Making someone’s day

by chuckofish

When daughter #2 was visiting earlier this week, coincidentally her childhood friend was also visiting her parents. She came over to chat and go out with the prairie girls for ice cream. When they returned, she mentioned that her husband was renovating the bathroom in their house and that she had been looking for a vintage brass swan fixture for the sink. It seems that since she was a little girl, she had loved been obsessed with the swan fixture in our downstairs powder room.

She had been searching high and low for one on Ebay and Etsy, etc. but to no avail.

Well, I said, when we renovated our bathroom a few years ago, I saved the swan fixture because my friend Eleanor had commented on it back in the day and said it was quite rare and valuable. I said if I can find it, it’s yours.

For once, the OM actually knew where it was and I found it in the garage. Julia came over the next day and picked it up. Voila!

Yay! Everyone is happy! She made my day.

Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. (Hebrews 13:16)
