A few weeks ago I shared an anecdote about my missing pink and brown moose sock. Imagine my surprise and delight when I brought in our mail and saw a small packet from a store that sounded “Alaskan” to me. How fun to open it up and find these – a new pair of 
the EXACT sock I had lost! Even more fun was to see who sent them to me, someone with whom I am developing a new friendship.
When I thanked my friend, she shared that she thought it would be a fun way to share a blessing with me. She was right!
No longer do I hope to find the errant moose sock. My hope has been realized. But now I have a new hope – about how God will work in our lives as my friend and I get to know one another more and seek God together.
