Take That!

In Genesis 50:20 it says, "You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good."

Indeed.

Last week some dirty rotten, no good, low down, rat fink hacked my e-mail account. They told all my e-mail contacts that I needed help, and would they please respond back to that e-mail?  (They were phishing for money.)Well, I don't know how many actually did, and I hope no one took the bait, but many e-mailed me back. What did I need? I got at least a dozen phone calls from worried friends and acquaintances and business acquaintances asking me what was wrong and what did I need? I got Facebook messages from all sorts of friends wanting to know  how  could they  help? All these people (even a customer service rep. from a company I do business with) wanted to know what they could do. 

Of course, many people recognized it for what it was because of the somewhat stilted use of the language. But maybe others thought I was just embarrassed to have to ask for help.

Do I deserve that amount of kindness? I don't know.

Anyway, I am really, truly touched. 

I guess I would expect close friends to respond. But folks I hadn't seen since high school, folks I haven't worked with in over fifteen years, much less customer service folks, well, I was surprised at the response. 

Well, more than surprised.

Thankful.

Yeah, that's the word.
