Unexpected Surprise

I had an unexpected surprise at work today. We all know about Wednesdays. Middle of the week. Not close enough to the weekend to get too excited, but far enough to still long for Friday. I came out of my office at about 4:30, which is exciting enough any day I am not closing, because that means I am about 30 minutes from leaving! However, two women walked in the front of the store and walked straight toward me. They are both members of the First United Methodist Church here in Tahlequah. They said they stopped by my house a couple of times to visit with me and drop off the pictured gift. I was not there either time, so they just came to the store. I love the fact that I met these two women at church a couple of weeks ago and never mentioned where I worked. It's kind of fun being the new person in a small town. Everyone seems to know who you are and where you work. Anyway, they told me they were happy I had been to worship with them the last few weeks and dropped off the coffee mug and hershey kisses as a welcoming gift. I have to admit, I have been hemming and hawing about whether I should join the church or keep looking. I have never had anyone come by to visit me with a gift, and I have been the new kid on the block in a new town plenty of times. I will be joining the church here soon, and it has nothing to do with the hershey kisses!
