A woman named Ellen lost her husband's grandmother's wedding ring this evening. She realized this while standing in line at the Dollar Tree. My kids and I helped her look around and found nothing. She cried several times in shock thinking it was literally gone forever. I asked her where else she's been, if she could back track, and could we help. She said she was at Walmart just before coming here.
We met her across the street at Walmart and went in to customer service. While she gave them her name and number, I prayed to St. Anthony to help us find that ring. We back tracked all over the store looking on shelves, in freezers, under shelves, and were on our hands and knees on the dirty floor, but found no ring. She cried again. I prayed to St. Anthony again and texted my husband to pray too.
We walked her to her car and I asked if we could go through her Walmart bags. She said yes so I started passing them out to my two kids and to her, and we checked every one. I passed her the last bag to look through while I checked her car floor and backseats.
Behind me, I heard a shocked voice saying she found it. She found it! There it was in her hand after finding it in the bag!!! She wept in my arms as she held tight, and I was in total shock and happiness saying "Thank God! Thank God! It's found! It's found!"
It was an absolutely stunning silver ring with two large diamonds!! She couldn't believe it! It was found!! This could have been a disaster. It could have been lost forever whether at Walmart, outside, or in someone else's possession if they'd found it first.
Thank you, St. Anthony, so much for helping her find it!! Thank you for keeping it safe in her car!! You are awesome!!!
"Tony, Tony,
look around.
Something’s lost
and must be found!"
