I absolutely LOVE getting and giving "prizes"; small little unexpected tokens of affection. They just make my day.
Last night, I came home from work to find a box from ProFlowers on my doorstep. It was addressed to Jenny McCarthy, but since it had the correct address, I thought that it might be a misprint and really be a prize for me. I opened the box and found these beautiful red roses. It just made my day and I was so curious to know who had sent them.
But, this was the note attached: 
That's when I figured out that these gorgeous flowers were not intended for me. First of all, we don't know a Dave and Jan Henson and secondly, we obviously don't have a "little one."
I was sad to part with this special surprise, even though it was not intended for me. But, I knew that somewhere, Jenny McCarthy was flowerless and I just could not accept her flowers. So, I called ProFlowers and explained the mistake so that they could come get them and send them to their rightful owner. The sweet woman thanked me for calling and reporting it. She said that she would contact the sender to get the mistake worked out, but that I should keep these flowers and enjoy them!
So, thank you Dave and Jan Henson for my prize. It made my day!

What a sweet suprise!
I think you deserved the surprise more than anyone I know.
How cool is that! I like to think of surprises as God's way of reaching down from Heaven and giving us a hug!
Enjoy your hug! You are very loved, my friend! :)
You did deserve those flowers, for sure! Hope that they brightened up your day. Praying for you both this week.
ha i forgot to ask you who sent those. It was so good seeing you today and having lunch. I feel very blessed again to be a part of this season and walk with you through this journey of life. I feel big things coming your way and I am joining the group that is believing God for you and with you!
