Lost

Hopefully Teisha doesn't mind me sharing this on here!  It's not my experience but I was part of it.

Earlier this week, there was an early open day for season pass holders at Cowabunga Bay.  Both Teisha and I have passes there and we see each other there from time to time.  I happened to have saved some extra chairs and saw her come in so she was sitting right by us that day.  Because it was an early open event, they had a DJ there that was playing music and interacting with the crowd.

She packed up earlier than me and headed out.  Not long after I saw her leave, I heard the DJ announce that a little 3 yr old boy with blonde hair was lost and his name was Kinkade and to please look for him.  I immediately knew it was Teisha and started looking around for him.  When I couldn't see him in the pool area I was in, I started toward the main gate and found Teisha.  She had told me that she was putting Tennyson in the car and when she turned around Kinkade was gone.  She had looked all over the parking lot and at the bowling center across the parking lot and she could not find him.  

The DJ announced that they were still looking for him and I went around the back part of the park and ran into a teacher's aide from Addie's school who was also walking around looking for him.  When I explained that I had looked everywhere in the park with no sign of him but that Teisha had told me she had been in the parking lot when she lost him, she headed out there to look for him. 

I continued to look in the park and then went to find Teisha.  She and I were headed out to the parking lot when we saw the aide from Addie's school and she said she found him out in the parking lot, three or four rows out on a little island of grass.  At that same time, Tommy pulled up and saw him so he picked him up and met up with Teisha at the front gate. 

There is no doubt in my mind that the hand of the Lord was in this in many ways.  For me to be at the waterpark and see her, for the DJ to be there and able to announce for everyone to hear, for the teacher's aide that I knew to be there and looking for him and run into me, it is definitely not a coincidence.   Having lost Addie once before, I know what Teisha was feeling like and it's a terrible feeling.  I was just glad that I was there and able to help and that he was found safe and sound! 

It's good to have these kind of reminders that the Lord is always watchful and mindful of us and is involved even in the smallest of things!
