In just over two hours, I was expecting 100 people at my house for my father-in-law Larry\u2019s seventieth birthday. I was right on schedule, putting the finishing touches on my corn casserole, when I froze. Where was the can of corn? I ran to my pantry, thinking I might have left it there. No luck.<\/p>\n

Did I buy frozen corn instead? I rushed to my freezer and rummaged through bags of icy vegetables. Nothing.<\/p>\n

Larry\u2019s health wasn\u2019t great, and I really wanted to make this party special<\/a> for him. I\u2019d planned meticulously, making a list of ingredients I\u2019d need to whip up big batches of Larry\u2019s favorite foods\u2014such as this corn casserole. The original recipe called for peas, but my kids hate them, so I always substituted corn. The finished product is cheesy noodles with chicken and corn, melted to perfection in the oven. I\u2019d made it for dinner dozens of times, and since my in-laws live across the street, they often enjoyed it with us. As I stood there, staring into my corn-less freezer, I could hear Larry\u2019s compliments about the dish. \u201cThis is delicious, and the corn really sets it off,\u201d he would say every time. \u201cIt gives it just the right texture. It wouldn\u2019t be the same without it!\u201d<\/p>\n

I glanced at the clock. No time to run to the store. I considered asking my husband, Eric, to go, but he was setting up all the folding tables and chairs. I scanned my shopping list. I hadn\u2019t even written it down. How could I have forgotten?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll just have to make it without the corn,<\/em> I thought.<\/p>\n

I hated admitting that the party would no longer be absolutely perfect, but I needed to get these casseroles in the oven<\/a> and move on to the next dish.<\/p>\n

As I mixed the cheese and the chicken into the cooked noodles, my five-year-old, Nathan, wandered into the kitchen. \u201cWhat are you making?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy corn casserole, except I can\u2019t find the corn,\u201d I said. \u201cWould you be a good boy and help me look for a can of it in the pantry?\u201d<\/p>\n

To be honest, asking him was more just to keep him occupied and out of the way than anything else. Nathan dragged a step stool in front of the pantry, stood on it and started digging around.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t see any corn, Mommy. But what\u2019s this?\u201d he asked, holding up a can of fruit cocktail I\u2019d gotten as a gift for helping with my church\u2019s Vacation Bible School. The theme the previous summer had been \u201cthe fruit of the spirit,\u201d from Galatians 5, and the can\u2019s label was covered by a decorative paper sleeve listing them: love, joy, goodness, kindness, peace, patience, gentleness, faithfulness and self-control.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a can of fruit from church,\u201d I said. \u201cRemember VBS last year? When we learned about fruit of the spirit<\/a>? The folks at VBS gave us real fruit to remind us of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCan I eat it?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, you\u2019ll spoil your dinner.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPleeeeeaaasse?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cFine, I don\u2019t care,\u201d I said, balancing a casserole as I inched toward the oven.<\/p>\n

Nathan jumped off the step stool and ran to get the can opener. Moments later, I heard him gasp. \u201cMom, come here!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNate, I\u2019m really busy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s corn.\u201d<\/p>\n

What?<\/em> Nathan showed me the can\u2019s contents. No fruit cocktail. Corn! Apparently, I was the lucky beneficiary of a mistake<\/a> made by the person in charge of wrapping the VBS cans. She must have accidentally grabbed a can of corn along with all the fruit. Relieved, I poured the corn into the second casserole, then set aside the empty can to show Eric later. I would make sure Larry\u2019s serving came from the second pan at the birthday party. No one else would notice the difference.<\/p>\n

The temporarily missing corn was the only mishap of the day. The party went well, and Larry had a wonderful time. More than once, he mentioned how delicious the corn casserole was.<\/p>\n

After the guests had all left, I was cleaning up the kitchen<\/a> and remembered the mystery can. I picked it up from where I\u2019d stashed it and pulled back the decorative sleeve, revealing the manufacturer\u2019s label underneath. I stopped short. Clearly, it was far more than luck that had brought me what I needed that night. In bold red letters, the can was labeled Fruit Cocktail.<\/em><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
