Is It a Sense of Entitlement?

I have worked very creatively on the Ranch over the past year and half to make it as beautiful as I could using what little I had. One of my favorite rooms is used mainly by the grooms as their dressing room. It's one of two casitas (little houses). I re-decorated it last year and purchased items from Pier One when it went out of business in Mission Viejo. It was so cute. Today, I found out that curtains (bought with my own money) along with 2 decorator pillows were stolen. It sounds so trivial I know...but now when you walk in the room now it's funny to see these orange pillows on brown sofas. The curtains and the other pillows tied it all together. It was just complete and now it's not.

They were no guests in the Hacienda rooms this past week. That could only mean the thief is an employee. Why steal them now after they've been there almost a year? And why not take anything else in the room? There are cute knick-knack stuff that match perfectly. How did he/she get a key? When would there be an opportunity? It doesn't seem like it would be a guy because what guy would want curtains and pillows. I'm driving myself crazy with these questions.

The fallout of closing the Ranch is most felt by the employees. However, does that make it okay for us to feel a sense of entitlement to anything we want to take? Just because we don't have jobs in 60 days gives us the right to steal in order to somehow get paid what we deserve?

I just don't get it. I'm supposed to be working in ministry...on God's holy land. I have to let this go. This is the kind of thing that eats at me for days. I mentioned before that I have this crazy inquisitive quality and I keep going over it to see if I missed anything that could be a clue to who it is. But there's too much already to think about to add this on top. So I pray to let this go.

Since this is only the 2nd week, my fear is that this is only the beginning of what's to come.
