We have been "Forked"


A few months ago, I came home after attending a church meeting on a Wednesday evening. Phil had not arrived yet. As I got out of my car, I noticed something shining in my lawn. The streetlight was reflecting on my lawn and as I looked closer, I could see the shining things caused a pattern. It looked like a circle of some kind. My first thought was that those pesky lawn mushrooms are back...but why hadn't I noticed them before and why are they shining? I thought I should check this out as I am walking up to my door to put my stuff inside. As I get to the door, I look down and there are a bunch of candy with hearts scattered on our door step with an envelope with notes in it. And I thought...oh, I think we are recipients of a service project. I quickly ducked into my house and got out the camera so I could take a picture. Then I thought...okay, maybe those shining things in the lawn have something to do with this. I went back outside and stepped on the lawn and took a closer look. There stuck in the ground were several clear plastic forks. If I stood back on the road and looked at them, they made the shape of a heart. I come to find out the notes in the envelope were notes from our young women in our ward letting Bishop May know how much they appreciate him and thanked him for his service to the ward. I kept it all in place, so that when Phil came home he could see this very create display of kindness from our young women.
