Dear Zaycon,
Ouch!
That’s the first word that comes to my mind. I think I speak for many when I say that this current event hurts.
I am sure you are hurting too. I’m sure when you had to make this decision it was painful. Maybe you prayed. Maybe you even cried. Maybe your heart aches too.
Maybe you saw it coming and tried to fight it off. Maybe you did everything you could to prevent this.
Maybe, just maybe you did everything you could, and it just didn’t work out.
Maybe, just maybe you’re also wishing things could be different.
As a mom with 8 Kids; with 6 kids still at home. This hits us hard. Zaycon was the best option we had for meat. We live in the middle of oil country here in ND. Where everything is almost double as expensive as other places. But my husband does not work in oil. My husband has a phenomenal job, but meat was one area we needed shopping solutions to keep the food budget low.
We live 100 miles away from the closest Sam’s Club, and you were still a better option then they were.
So, this hits our family right in the feelers.
What you don’t know about our family is that last year around this same exact time, someone broke into our garage and stole multiple things from us. One of those things were 2 cases of Zaycon chicken breasts and 1 case of Zaycon hamburger. Completely annihilating our food supply. Hours of chicken clean up and packaging as well as weighing and packaging hamburger; wasted.
You did not know that we have spent hundreds of dollars since November 2017 trying to replace what was stolen from us. It was not your fault. I am not blaming you by any means for that.
You didn’t know that my family went 6 months without chicken. That we spent a ton of time eating beans. You didn’t know that the only friend who believed me gave us a package of chicken breasts and I made that stretch. You didn’t know that I sobbed and sobbed for our loss of food, money and time. The heartache I felt because someone was so heartless to a family with 6 Kids. You had no clue what it meant to us that we were trying to replenish not only what was stolen, but also provide for the here and now.
You had no clue that my faith is high.
Or that I prayed for the thieves, that they would never go without food again. That our chicken and hamburger would feed them for months. That God would provide above and beyond to those thieves, so they never have to steal food again. Or that I praised God and thanked him for restoring what the enemy stole, long before it was restored onto us.
You also have no fault to the fact that 2 years ago in 2016, we lost an entire freezer full of meat because our deep freezer accidentally got unplugged. And we were at a complete loss then too. And you had no clue that in that moment last year when we lost our food again, it was for the 2nd year.
So of course, you have no idea that this is now our 3rd year that Satan has attacked our food supply. And you had no idea that I have prayed the blood of Jesus over our freezer. I praised Jesus for keeping it safe. I praised Jesus for the full supply and the finances to keep the deep freezer full. That I had thanked Jesus that our deep freezer would remain working, and plugged in. That Satan and his cohorts could no longer affect our food supply.
You had no idea.
And it was not your job to know that my family was experiencing these previous heartaches. And that you, Zaycon, were the reason why we have meat in our freezer again. That you were a huge blessing for my family. That because of your awesomeness, our freezer has meat, we have been restored and God has blessed us with supply again. Through your hands, God was able to bless us again with meat to eat and feed a large family.
So, you have no way of knowing the heartache of once again seeing Satan attack our food supply. The heartache that follows the blessing of high quality discounted being meat ripped away from us.
You see, that is my fault.
It is my fault for not praying over Zaycon. It is my fault for not blessing the supplier with prayers to help keep you afloat for decades longer. It’s my fault I didn’t think to rebuke Satan and his attempts to attack the company who supplied our food.
You had no clue, I forgot to pray for you.
You probably know the pain it is to get our money back. Some people can’t and won’t be getting their money back. Their banks won’t allow it after 2 months. Some of us had to print off the receipts, the change of delivery date papers, and the cancelation papers to show proof for each transaction. That was us, printing over 20 emails to hopefully get a refund. More time spent trying to salvage what has been taken from us. We currently have $1,000 invested into you, Zaycon. And due to missing emails, I am capable of getting $340 back if our bank agrees to do the refund. And maybe we will get $680 back if my bank will accept just the order cancelation emails from you. But the full $1,000 will not be refunded. And that is also my fault. My fault for not keeping my emails and records more organized for the last 6 months because I trusted you. I knew I could just log into my account and access my transactions any time I needed; but, you removed that from us too.
Zaycon, you will be missed.
This hurts our entire nation.
There are others hurting worse. And some not hurting as bad.
But everyone is affected.
But with my God, my family will be ok.
Because of this issue Zaycon, I want to thank you.
Thank you, because we will be blessed with double for this trouble.
We will be blessed with restoration.
We will be blessed with food and new suppliers.
God will increase us, so we can have a full supply.
You were the hands but not the only avenue. God provides the blessing. We may be hurting in this minute, but it will be short-lived. For me and my house, we will be A-Ok!
As some people worry and fret as to how they will feed their family, I will do no such thing, because I am confident God will take care of us again; for the 3rd time in a row. We will not be forsaken, because God supplies all that we need.
Thank you Zaycon for years of service. Thank you Zaycon for your abrupt end that will lead to an even bigger blessing. Thank you for the quality meat at incredible prices.
Last but not least,
Zaycon, I forgive you.
Sincerely,
A mom full of Hope & Faith
