I find your story almost inspirational. So you needed help with your cross...it reminds me of "Footprints". I love that! It's on my keychain. What you say is true. We don't need to do everything alone. God sent that person to help you, and it sounds like he is a wonderful person! I'm glad to hear about people doing such nice things in the world, and just being a friend to someone who needs help. I have been able to experience the kindness of others, and though I'd have rather not been in the situation, I felt blessed by their actions. In one case, my mysterious friend literally disappeared after paying for my food. The computer link was down for my food stamps so that wouldn't work, and I had no job, cash, or credit card. I followed this person out of the store, and he vanished once out the door. I don't know if I blinked or what happened, but I thanked God none the less. Like you said, God wouldn't object. He wouldn't even prosecute. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{hamstergirl}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
