"Little" Debbie?

Wow!
The other day I was eating a honey bun... my favorite Little Debbie cake.
There was a small piece of blue plastic in it!  About an inch and a half long, bendable, but plastic.
So I called to let the company know.  Of course the lady wanted the information off the box so they could find out what may have happened, and she said she'd send me a mailer to mail back the plastic and the box.  She was very nice, and we talked for a bit.
Then she asked if I had kids, and were they allergic to chocolate.  She said she'd send my family some samples.  I figured the kids and Travis would eat them, since I'm not much of a fan of the chocolate Little Debbie cakes.
Today JohnDavid and I were at the table, finishing up math.  He heard a truck outside, then Rebekah called, "Mama, someone's honking a horn outside!"  JohnDavid ran to get his shoes, but before he could get them on, a delivery man came to the door with a big box!
I saw Little Debbie on the side.  Why such a big box? I wondered.  I knew the lady said she'd send some samples.
Samples?!?
THIS is what we got!!!
Snack cakes, granola, breakfast bars, and a package of snack crackers -- altogether eleven boxes!!! And a coupon for another free box!
LOL, JohnDavid said, "Little Debbie is gonna be Big Debbie now!"

  1. Wow! What a blessing! You know, it amazes me the lengths God will go to bless his children. Some may see this as a "I-don't-want'to-be-sued" gesture by Little Debbie Cakes, but I see it as a special blessing from God, especially when the economy today makes it hard to choose a lot of treats at the grocery store for your kids. I could tell you stories from my own experience that only God could have worked them out ... Be sure to email this link to the Little Debbie company, too. If I know you, you will let them know some way anyway.

    Thanks for sharing the blessing!

  5. Marty, I don't remember this. I don't think I was one that got a box. Now that is what I call samples.
