When I wake up, I first thank the good Lord for another day of life. Why? Because it is a very precious gift that we should honor as God’s children. When I look at my 52 years here, I think of that long journey to this blessed age, because when I was younger I always wondered whether I would ever see this age.
Now I look at what life is all about, which is keeping the faith in God, the father, and taking good care of myself at all times. I do that because sometimes life can become a very hard journey. I know that because I have been through a series of complications, including being close to death. Since becoming homeless, I have had surgery twice because of bad accidents and being attacked on dangerous streets. Not all places are bad, but in my heart I think life is what you choose.
Since I joined the Street Sense family, things have become more positive. My life guides have also become greater, thanks to some people I have met through my journey with this newspaper. After all the advice they have given me, let me give some back to MY Street Sense people:
Always think on what life is about, because sometimes life can be wonderful and scary at the same time. Now, for me, I am very proud to see my 52nd year on God’s great Earth. So, always praise God, the father, and the son every day. Amen!
