Surviving Winter

When I first hit the street, I didn’t have any shelter at all. I used to sleep outside or inside a car. I remember many things I did to stay warm. First I took the advice of a friend that said, ‘Don’t sleep outdoors, anything can happen.’ Second, I made sure I had on enough clothing. Third, I found blankets warm enough to sleep in. Although, I did have help from a warm furnace, I still had to keep my things from catching fire. Which brings me to the most important tip of all. Use your surroundings and use everything in your environment to survive. If you can accomplish those things, then the Lord will help you until it comes time for you to be blessed.
