Little Miracles

2009-09-23T10:19:00Z

Miracle #1 – MONDAY - Patrick and I have been chatting about the work he wants to do in the store come November, like fix some of the track lighting. We’ve been putting it off because this track lighting is old. It was donated by Fr. Hawkswell almost 5 years ago. Two fixtures are not working and the thought of having to replace all of the lighting in the store so the look remains consistent was a little bit of a concern. However, needs to be done. Earlier this week a man sauntered in, looking around. “Can I help you” I asked. He told me he was just in the neighbourhood and popped in on a whim. “You know if you ever wanted to change the lighting in the store I would be glad to help.” “Pardon me?” I asked. He was a lighting consultant!! TRUE STORY! In fact, he said if all I needed was to replace the fixtures that were clearly not working he was sure he had some in his warehouse even though they did not make them anymore. WHAAT? He promised to return next week with three for us. Really…a travelling light salesman?

Miracle #2 – TUESDAY - A church in the Fraser Valley needed a box of books by Wednesday. I made arrangements with a friend who is a courier for a Tuesday delivery. I received a call from our friend in the morning, his dispatch redirected him and he unfortunately would not be able to help us. YIKES! About half an hour after this phone conversation we received a delivery of boxes from one of our regular freight companies. I asked J. if his route took him into the Fraser Valley by chance. He replied that it did not but asked why. After I explained my dilemna he said “I don’t deliver there but I live close by there, I’ll do it on the way home”!!! TRUE STORY! I offered to pay him, he told me not to be ridiculous. The church got their box before 5PM that day and all was well for the program that started the next day.

Miracle #3 – WEDNESDAY - I received a phone call a few weeks ago from a Ms. S. who was directed to phone us by a friend who is Catholic. She needed to purchase a particular item that she heard would help to sell her house. When she called us she was ecstatic to find out we a) carried this item and b) were literally just down the street from her, she didn’t know anything about us, we’d never met before. She came right down. THIS WEEK she popped in saying “I had to come and see you to give you the update. It had to be today”. As she turned in the store, she saw the wife of the friend that recommended our store to her. She hadn’t seen them all this time, they had just returned from a two week holiday overseas. TRUE STORY! Of all the times for both of these ladies to “decide” to pop in…at the exact same time. Now she was able to share how the advice was leading to a happy ending.

So, I do see these as little miracles. But then, I come to work expecting them because I think that’s why we’re here, and that’s only in one week!

What’s in a name?

The name of the store “Joyful Noise”, comes from Psalm 100 which directs us to “make a joyful noise to the Lord” in thanksgiving. Both the store and our music ministry fills us with joy and gratitude, so we thought the name very appropriate!

JOYFUL NOISE Books & Gifts Ltd. is owned and operated by Patrick & Peggy Maas who make their home in Coquitlam and worship at St. Clare of Assisi Parish where they lead music as the Elijah Music Ministry.
