Indescribable feelings

My Blogger post of Oct 26 (Indifferent, Bad and Good) touched on our dealings with Immigration. We scurry around getting a new set of fingerprints, forms filled out and we feel all the information needed is ready to be sent to the FBI. Time is of the essence here.

I take the package to the Post Office Oct. 30 to ensure that it will be sent properly. From experience I know a letter with standard postage takes approximately 10 days to arrive at a USA destination. To speed up the process the Post Office offers 6 day delivery for $14.50. My thoughts; are 4 days worth the additional cost. NO. (Big mistake on my part) I choose to send it standard postage mentioning to the Postal Clerk that Immigration seemed to have lost the previous set and this has to get to the FBI but 4 days won't make that much difference.

Yesterday, Kirk comes in with the mail. The package returned "insufficient postage".

I am ............... Indescribable.

Grabbing my postage receipt and package I raced out the door to have a discussion with the Post Office. Many thoughts went through my mind. Shooting someone was one of them.

Many of you know me as having quite a temper and irrational. Listening to the gospel music playing in my truck I did calm down before arriving at the Post Office.

The clerk admitted it was their mistake. She apologized as she handed me a box of Kleenex. (I wasn't crying, my nose was dripping. I still have a cold.) The consolation is they return my original postage and we now send it for $14.50. I leave asking the Lord for the understanding of this and my indescribable feelings.
