All Else Confusion

Sometime yesterday, while I was at work, someone broke into my house and stole my laptop, some jewlery (including a diamond ring (birthstone) that my parents gave me), and possibly some cash. I was supposed to be leaving for Virigina to participate in the March for Life at the time that the theft was discovered, and after consulting with the police, decided to make the trip. Right now I am writing this from my friends' living room in Fairfax, VA. When I return home on Tuesday, I will have to make a more thorough investigation to see if anything else is missing. I know that it is unlikely that my missing items will ever be found. However, I also believe in the power of prayer and am praying to St. Anthony for his help in locating my property. The patron saint of police escapes me at the moment, but I'll be praying to him as well to help the police apprehend the culprit.

Right now I am saddened by the loss of several items of importance to me, and sickened and angry at the thought of someone forcing his way into my house and helping himself to my things. I'm praying to God for the ability to forgive and thanking God that only a few things were taken and that no one was at the house to be hurt at the time of the crime.
