Blessings from God

I have always been deeply moved by the way God rewards a humble soul!
 
The amazing story below (see video) reminds me of the 3 youths sold into slavery, who kept their faith unaltered receiving great honor from God or the story of St. Euphrosynos The Cook (pronounced Ef-ro-se-nos, meaning “cheery” or “merry”). The saint was richly rewarded by God for his unending gratitude and humility. While still living he was visiting the garden of Paradise every night. Read his story in the book ”The boy, a kitchen and his cave” by Catherine K. Contopoulos.

This humble homeless boy is another beautiful example of how God turns around a "misfortune", an aparent hopeless life to His Glory showing us how he cares about even the smallest one amongst us. My wish is that this boy will find God. The story also reminds me of Bishop Longhin (Mihail) Jar, of Banceni Monastery in Ukraine. He grew up alone, after he lost his parents and ended becoming the spiritual father of many. He takes care of 400 orphans!
