Slogging through a rough week, this cheerful bicycle appeared on my doorstep last night:
I read the note and immediately broke down in tears. That’s a good thing overall –Â I have come to believe that tears can indicate the presence of God.
The most lovely, happy, heartfelt ANONYMOUS note was attached to it, and the givers went to great lengths to make sure they weren’t seen in the process. So I can’t thank them personally.
But they did indicate that they read my blog. So I hope they see this here.
Thank you. Right now, I don’t know what else to say. You have my gratitude and my heart. My admiration for pulling this off. And my marvel at the two seats on this sweet ride, reminding me that I do not have to go it alone.
Know that you are the presence of God in my life. And the enabler of some good cheer that keeps on rolling!
Love,
Marie

This is a special bike that’s not very good at listening to excuses, so it takes you exactly where you really want to go & if you kick & scream it makes you pedal harder & go up steeper hills until you’re too out of breath to complain & after awhile, if you’re lucky, you start to see that it doesn’t really matter if you laugh or cry, because it just wants to ride like the wind

This brought tears to MY eyes. What a perfect gift! The generous giver is right. You don’t have to go it alone and you are never alone. You have made such a difference in so many people’s lives. Thank you for inspiring us.
Awesome. Can I bike with you? Around to go this afternoon or Friday! H

Marie, my family had a yellow tandem bicycle when I was growing up—a real favorite among the seven children. Just the other day I saw a couple out riding a tandem and was reminded of how much fun it is. Should you ever want a riding ‘partner’ give me a holler.
love, L
I wondered who else would ride with you and then I realized this was just a visual reminder of God with you. So lovely, Marie.
WOW – so glad you are half crazy with love – what a beautiful, thoughtful thing for someone to do.
Nothing is as cool as pedaling a bright yellow tandem bicycle. What a wonderful gift.
Bellissima! What a beautiful, thoughtful gift. Someone who knows you well and loves you very much must have left it.
