Once upon a time there was a beautiful Mother who would wake up every morning at 4am. Through the haze of exhaustion and the desire to wake up, she would take her energetic puppy on a walk through the neighborhood.
One of these mornings, as she was walking down the street she saw an enormously big, extra large, monstrous bean bag luv sac sitting in front of a neighbors house. As she saw it she prayed....out loud.
"Lord, I bet that is free on the side of the road. Please don't let my husband or my kids find this else it will be in our house. Please let someone else find it and take it home. "
She went home and did her best to forget about it and not go down that direction. The day went on and the evening came quickly and no one saw that bean bag. Oh she was sure that the bean bag was gone, never to be thought of again.
At 5 o clock the kids and their Dad left to get pizza, and the Momma settled down for a moment of quiet. As soon as she sat down her husband burst through the door.
"Babe, you will never guess what we found!" Without hesitation, she knew. SHE KNEW.
She instantly responded, "Is it that big monstrous bean bag down the street?"
"HOW DID YOU KNOW?!"
So the bean bag that she prayed would never end up in her house, is in her house. Even her plans to accidentally have it stolen were thwarted when her trusty furry friend claimed it and loved it.
Im not sure what the moral of the story is, but I do know I just made some memories. I will never EVER forget the ginormous free bean bag and the family that loved it.
