gratitude

I have indeed spent lots of time-too much time talking about what I endured to get here. It has been sometimes a heartbreaking experience but I have to add-I discovered that there are so many great things I should have added.
Over the last couple of years and even now, people have walked into my life to help me out. I have had people like the Testas and the Griffins and my brother open their homes to me and yet not expect anything in return except that I do my best. I have had folks in my church become so generous with time and money. And I have had friends, true friends, look out for me and help me to stand up and be strong at times when I thought that I would fall.
I also learned who my real friends were and who were not-and this is a great thing as well. God finds good in all times, and it is good to separate yourself from bad or just toxic individuals.
Here. I have found such great folks as well. When I went to the village to stay for a bit, my host family gave me their main living quarters and moved into a hut. They brought a bed for me from town and fed me everyday.
My colleagues guided me while also trying to do their own daily work.
I encourage you to look for these special angels in your own life. I am now staying with a couple who hardly knew me while my house is being fixed. since the word angel means messenger, and all these people live the Message of God everyday-then I am surrounded by angels.
