God's Sense of Humor

Be careful what u wish for. I asked God for a home and a family, I meant with Grace and Mark. I GOT a home and a family, but it was with a beautiful couple that I met as customers through my job. I am now renting a room from an elderly couple. But I got more than a room. They have literally taken me in as an adopted daughter. Especially, Mr. Jack, the old man. He is 76 yrs. old, and has truly a heart of gold. I watch him daily. He is a good Christian man, and I see his giving spirit. He never lets it get him down when he helps someone that takes advantage of his generosity. It seems he helps others for the pleasure of God and not for his own. It's truly a blessing just to see. He also has let me help him do a side job with him, he does heating and air. It gave me some extra money to pay bills. So now not only do I have a roof over my head, food in my belly, but love in my heart. I am so undeserving. Mr. Jack serves as a wonderful mentor. His wisdom has carried me through some rough days. I have gained the strength to let Mark know that we can either get married and be life partners and do something with this awesome love we share or end this once and for all. Eighteen years is long enough for a relationship to grow...
