A blessed new opportunity!

In one crazy moment, I acted without thinking, just decided "What the hell, why not!". Turns out to be a huge blessing sent by God!

My friend told me about an ad in their local newspaper, where a caregiver was wanted for a sick old man. I immediately replied to the ad. Next morning I received a phone call from the man, and we arranged an interview date. Apparently he had many interviews. Well, he chose me! I moved into his home on the 1 st Decenber (free living in because he needs care 24/7). Although he is old, sick and very fragile, he has a beautiful personality, and that makes taking, care of him, a pleasure. I know now that the Lord God prepared this job just for me!!

I can freely talk about my beautiful Colleen, and he listens  with understanding. It feels as if Colleen is here with me, helping me to do what I did for her for many years! What a wonderful new chapter in my broken life!!!

I don't know why I have not received any email notifications from DS for the past few weeks. Maybe a system problem.

Lots of love and good wishes to each one of my FMO sisters!! Love you!!! xxx

How wonderful and not a crazy moment at all, yet one that was lining itself up and you took action at the perfect right time.

I can hear the lightness in your words and heart and to be able to give this gift of care is something that IS your passion. I\'m SO happy for YOU!

I have no doubt that Colleen is right there with you and how lovely to be able to speak of her too and to have this gentleman listen.

May you continue to fulfill your calling as you are and may many blessings BE yours.

Much love and care always,
