Re-united

Last Friday (6/25) Josh went to a place called Sir Gooney's (it is kinda like a Putt Putt Golf and Games) with a friend. While the original plan was for them to go to a Lookouts baseball game, the plan got changed due to possible bad weather. SO...when he left with the friend, thinking he was going to a baseball game, Jon and I decided to let him wear his All Stars baseball hat. (generally a BIG NO NO) This is the HAT that you can't get into the All Stars games, State, and World Series, without having on your head. Well, as noted above, the plan changed and while Josh was in the batting cages he took his hat off and forgot it...yep, the simple little hat that lets him play baseball every week. Well of course Jon and I were so mad when we found out and last Saturday Jon went to place an Order for his new hat. In the meantime, I prayed that somehow, someway we would get the hat back, thinking it was close to impossible, but also hoping for a small miracle and a lesson that GOD can do anything, big or little, if we have faith and ask. Well on Wednesday, Jon got a call from a friend that was on Josh's regular rec baseball team asking if Josh had lost his All Star hat. Jon replied "yes!" and our friend, Dennis said he knew who had it...and gave us his #. Yesterday, Jon met this guy, named Brandon, to get the hat. Brandon lives in Ringgold, GA and was at Sir Gonney's on Friday, saw the Hixson Hat, knew that Dennis' son played Hixson All Stars and thought it might be his or at least that he might know whose it was...well Dennis was asking around and found out it was indeed Josh's...It is a small miracle, a hat, lost in a very popular spot, picked up by someone who lives in another state, who knew someone who played in the Hixson league, who wasn't missing a hat, who found who lost the hat, who gave it back to the rightful owner, all in time for the next game...(the hat we ordered wont be here til next week so he probably wouldn't be able to play in this weeks set of games) but would have it for State...
