yesterday afternoon

Something happened today that I really am in doubt about...I don't know if a real person kissed me or if it was an angel.... I went to the store (Michael drove me) . and took two of "my babies" . (street children) with me. I am trying to do the Daniel fast so I had to pick up some . things...we were up and down the aisles. The boys were hugging me holding my hands....I let them pick out some snacks for them and we went to pay for our things when a "lady" walked up to me and said, who are these children? I said to the boys go over there and get you a coke (next aisle over as I did not want them to hear my answer. I turned to her and said they are street children...she looked at me and said they sure love you...I have been watching you and them and how they smile at you. She reached over and kissed me on the cheek and said God bless you...and walked away...by this time the boys were back holding their cokes...as we were paying someone said the lady left something for the children...It was 2 BIG bars of candy!...she was gone....
Well...all afternoon I have thought of this....Took the boys back to where they stay....I teased them and said, Grandma is old and slow...what would happen if no one would want me any more....their little brown eyes shining they said, grandma, come stay with us we will take care of you...
Dear ones that help this ministry...thank you for making it possible that we can help them....and tomorrow they just might take care of me...who knows....

I bet it was, someone jokingly said that their desire was to be a returned missionary. The life of a missionary seems glorious in the telling, but I'm sure there are many difficult times as well.
