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.

Inky, I will pray for you more and hope you see God's love more by being entertained by more angels. Those who have been kind to you with meals and help are the ones who are BEING christian not just talking it
