Well God just blessed me in a major way! PTL I was just starting out on my evening walk(heading up the hill) and one of my neighbors was coming down the hill. He is an older gentleman, I hadn't seen him in quite a while. I only talked to him a few times when I'd seen him over a year ago. Then one day his house was up for sale and he was nowhere around. I didn't know what had happened. About a year passed and then the for sale sign was down and I thought "well it must have finally sold".. Now(all of a sudden) I see him, coming down the hill ! I said "well Hello, there!" I finally found out his name.."Michael" Turned out Michael had a stroke about a year ago, and then went to live with his children in California.(Michael's wife died many years ago). They told him he would never walk again, as he has suffered from diabetes since childhood and they said the stroke "finished him off" for walking. (He only has two toes left and uses a cane). Well here he comes walking down the hill(and quite a big hill at that!) and says "well I made it up and back!" I said "Praise the Lord!" Well we talked a bit and our conversation turned to "faith" and God and he said " You know, I don't know why God hasn't taken me yet"...I said "well, it's so you can Praise God and give Glory to Him, of course!" He got tears in his eyes..my God, I nearly broke down..I asked him if he had a bible and he said he did, but the writing was too small, he couldn't read it. I told him I would get him one with bigger writing, as I know they must have them..I felt SO VERY blessed as I touched his shoulder and told him to have a beautiful evening. Praise the Lord!
