LETTERS: MESSAGE FOR THE PERSON WHO RETURNED MONEY

To the editor:

This is the only way I know to contact the person who sent me the anonymous letter containing money to pay for taking the money from my purse a number of years ago which, on impulse, you accepted as yours when the supermarket employee asked if it belonged to you. Yes, the purse and the cards were returned to me intact by the police and the kind man who found them. Thank you for leaving it where it would be found.

Thank you for gathering the courage to do the right thing. I hope that your good deed brings you the peace of mind you have been searching for.

I certainly understand your need for forgiveness. I feel in my heart that our God has forgiven you. I can do no less. Please be assured that I also forgive you. Now, most important, you must forgive yourself.

May you always walk in Christ's steps.
