Two women--who coincidently reminded me of the "angels" on the TV show "Touched by an Angel"--noticing my situation, came up to me one night a while back and offered to pray for me. The three of us sat there, one spoke a prayer, and naturally I was emotionally and spiritually touched. Starting the next day the world seemed a change place, as people were strangely open and generous to my situation. They had good hearts and spirits. They brought me cold water bottles on a hot day, gave me $5 to buy food... One man shocked me and came walking out of a gourmet coffee shop with two coffees and two bags of food--one set was for me! He bought me an extra-tall, large 20-ounce coffee and a blueberry muffin! His car was across the street, so I wondered why is he crossing the street coming towards me. I was just sitting on a park bench enjoying the sun and playing a game on my cell phone. Had a back back and a tote bag with my things. I don't fit the look of "homeless" but some people can still tell. Or maybe they are just suddenly inspired to do things sometimes for unknown reasons. I don't remember how many days things like this happened, but I was thankful for it. The prayer from those two women was very much needed and rekindled my faith that there is still some good in this world. I hope my angels are reading these forums tonight, because I desperately need their prayers again.
