Had a great blessing today that came from holding someone accountable. Sunday, immediately following the second service I began calling several people who had not brought their Angel gifts. Many answered the phone, thanked me for reminding them, and made arrangements to bring their gifts as soon as possible.
This afternoon, the last presents arrived. The person delivering the gifts thanked me for calling on Sunday and then admitted that they probably would not have fulfilled their commitment had I not called. The person went on to explain that money was tight, but after my call, they looked at a purchase they had made for themselves and decided to return that purchase in order to buy the gifts for their Angel recipient.
After sharing the story, the person told me how much joy they felt after making that decision, then following through with the commitment. I shared what a blessing this interaction was for me.
