A South Carolina man who left his wallet behind while he was traveling out of state is having a Merry Christmas after an anonymous Christian returned the wallet with everything inside.

Bruce Ryland stopped for gas in Warren, South Carolina while returning home from a trip to Atlanta.  He remembered using a credit card to pay for the gas but doesn’t remember where the wallet went after that.   He told a local TV station he probably left it on the top of the car when he drove off.

The wallet had over $300 inside.  Ryland called the gas station to see if anyone had turned it in but nothing had been found.

“I was running crazy, canceling credit cards, debit cards, trying to scramble and get the insurance cards and drivers license,” he said.

Over a week later, a package arrived in the mail from someone in Sparta, Georgia identified as “N. Cummings.”  Inside, the wallet with all the cash enclosed and a note that outlined the Biblical reasons for returning the wallet:

“Three Scriptural reasons I am moved to do this,” it read. “Please read them for yourself: Luke 10:27, Luke 16:10, Psalms 83:18. You’re welcome.”

“Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself,” the first verse reads.

“He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much,” the second states.

“That men may know that Thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, art the most high over all the earth,” the third Scripture reads.

Ryland tried to find the Christian behind the letter but couldn’t find them.  So he sent a gift card to the return address on the envelope for $305 dollars…the same amount as the cash in the wallet.
