Sometimes "it's too good to be true." We can't believe. Such good news! We never expected it, and when it happened, we kept asking, "Is this true or am I dreaming?"
I remember the day years ago when I walked out the country lane from our home to get the mail from the box. There were several letters that noontime, one addressed to me. It was from the college that I hoped to attend. My problem was a lack of money. Where would our family ever get enough together to pay my tuition? I could live at home, so there was no room and board. But we didn't know how we would be able to make it.
On the way back to the house, I opened the letter addressed to me, stopped in the road to read it. It was from the college office informing me that I was receiving a scholarship that would cover one-fourth of my tuition. I read it again ... and again. I ran to the house to tell my mother the new good news. It was almost "too good to be true."
