Who Would Leave A Perfectly Good Fabric Softener Sample In My Mailbox?

Earlier today, I pulled a strange little plastic envelope from my mailbox: a packet of liquid fabric softener, intact and seemingly untouched. At first I thought it must be some kind of mistake. Where did this fabric softener sample come from? Why had it found its way into the mailbox of little old me?

I asked myself: Who in their right mind would place a single-use container of softener in my mailbox, a brand that a brand I don’t even use. It makes no logical sense. Despite the initial shock, this fabric softener brand was not unknown to me. In fact, it's available, at ShopKo, Walgreen, pick-n-save and walmart. To tell you the truth, I once considered purchasing this product over my regular brand, just to try something different, but I quickly abandoned the thought, discouraged by the prospect that I would not find it satisfactory. I must admit, I am very tempted to test this softener.

One thing is certain about the mysterious individual to whom this sample belongs: He is both devil and savior. What's the worst that could happen if I were to try it? If this stranger should ever come to my door and demand that I replace the laundry product that rightfully belonged to him, I would do so, graciously. But I would also thank him. For whatever turn of fate brought his fabric softener to my mailbox just might result in softer, fresher-smelling clothes for my family.

It would be easy to simply carry on as if this fabric softener sample had never arrived in my mailbox, to pretend this chapter of my life were closed. The more I open my mind to this enigma, the more I can view it as a gift rather than a burden. I choose to believe that whoever placed this fabric softener in my mailbox, they did it for a reason.
