Last week my husband spotted a
wallet in the parking lot of a shopping complex. His arms were full of groceries and he asked
Jenna if she would bend down and pick it up.
Excitedly, she retrieved the wallet and
announced that it must be returned. I am
so happy that it was such an automatic decision for all three of us to turn the
wallet in. Oh, and we could have so used
any money it may have contained. But
I’ve been in that situation too many times where I have been the one that has
lost whatever – and if the roles were reversed, it is exactly what I would want
the finder to do.
As the grocery store is the largest – it
is where we ended up taking the wallet. The
owner frantically entered the store only moments after we turned it in. We told him where it was. With gratitude he gave Roland a half embrace.
Jenna was a little bit disappointed that
there weren’t any cameras or having John Quinones pop out of the woodwork to
announce that we were part of his reality show.
Roland assured her that Heavenly Father could see her actions and has
His own version of “What Would You Do?” and was giving Jenna a thumbs up for
she did the right thing.
I am so happy that Jenna wanted to do the
right thing. And I’m happy about her
excitement for the reality show which has really taught her values. Thank you John Quinones and the creators of
that show.
Oh, my picture at the beginning of the post? That is Jenna mimicking John Quinones.
