August 2 Providence 3rd night

August 2 Providence 3rd night I went to downtown to play flute,CVS is my spot. A man came, we started to talk each other, his name is Joseph, I might concept him as nonprofessional minister. He prayed for me, when he was praying, his body doing some actions. That made me almost laugh aloud . other people prayed for me , I cried. Joseph prayed for me, I laughed. He said I can anoint me. That's interesting. He went home, after a while , he came back with a bottle of oil in hand. He put some oil on my forehead, and then he said , that maybe a little bit strange. In bible, not only anoint head. also anoint feet. " that's not strange" I immediately put off shoes and socks. He put some oil on my feet. Joseph went to buy lunch, when he came back, I had a bottle of orange juice to drink and a chicken sandwich to eat. Joseph stayed with me for hours. In Cleveland , there was a lady following me everywhere for hours. Luckly Joseph didn't bother my business , he is good helper. He preached "this woman is from LA, ... " A black young man listened his speech , and then contributed $20 in my tip hat. Joseph went to CVS to buy a big bottle of water for me and then he finally left . A black man siting in wheelchair cried " water! water!" he seemed the person who is in desert or the one in movie who went through a big battle. I immediately picked up the water to put it in his hands. that was Joseph bought for me . He said "open , open." i opened the cap. and then he started to drink. He looked like really thirsty. I ran back to take cookie to him. I thought if He is so thirsty, possibly he is also hungry. But he said " No , i don't eat cookie. too much sugar ." His voice is similar a woman's voice when she is in her beloved one's arms. A man who is in wheelchair might have same feeling . I am not judging his voice. What he said reminded me the man in Boston,he stood on street hoding a sign, I handled a bag of instant noodle, He responded " no. I can't eat, homeless, no hot water." instant noodle can be eat directly jn dry. he also can ask coffee shop for hot water. That also reminded me the big eyes woman,a safeway's customer, When i worked in Safeway Deli department,we were busy on most of time. One day there were several customers waiting . Dabera said "Spring, can you help this lady?" when i saw her, wo, what big eyes! Very big and very round. She sat in wheelchair. I thought about Dabera: you keep handsome young men, send this one to me. This big eyes woman was really special. She wanted to buy a sandwich. She asked the price. I reported: , $9.99 for 12". $5.49 for 6" . She said " I wanted 5". Someone can speak something beyond your expectation. We just sell whole bread 12" , or 6" half bread, we don't sell by every inch. She said she only have $4. I found a good way for her solution: make a breakfast sandwich for her, the price is only $1.99 . Even the time was afternoon. But God is good. We can serve " breakfast" whole day. The big eyes lady agreed with that . When I started the work, she told me," I don't want egg,that's too much what what..." breakfast always has egg. That's the recipe. When I was going to put in oven,she said " don't cook, that's not heathy ..." our breakfast recipe is hot. I thought : you've already sat in wheelchair, you still picky. "I want what what .." I thought: this is breakfast price, now it is bigger than regular sandwich. A person has no grateful heart, is not willing to receive blessings,how can he or she be blessed by God? Or even be loved by other human? I took back what they did not want , gave them what they wanted. I am beloved by God , God gave such heart to treat His all kinds of children with patience. A security guard asked me" do you permission, someone asked about your permission." " yes. I have" he was surprised. " wo? You have permission!" "God is my permission." I said in my mind. I am not good at lie, i was little bit nervous he maybe ask me to show him my permission. But ask a street performer for permission, i don't think God would be happy about that. I play music on street, that is not against Bible. So it is permitted by God. It was getting evening, a person came out to let me leave. I made $64, a good day. I checked email in Starbucks. Eric wrote me a note through couchsurfing website : " Spring, .... I think I lost you." I guessed Eric might did not know where I slept last night. I cleaned two rooms, they used the first one to practice singing, another young man used the second one to massage. I was too tired to clean more, so I simply stay at another dirty room, I did laundry and then fell into sleep, I did not join in their singing. so Eric did not see me and did not know where I stayed. This is big house, it is for 17 people to live. Now 6 young men and young ladies live here. So they have several empty rooms. I responded a note to Eric : " I slept well. .. You have never lost me, you are my master. " I respect my hosts as my master,my lord.I enjoy my host's home as my sweet home. Today was Eric 's turn to cook. They have their regulation for cook, clean, food, soap.. Eric was busying in kitchen when I came back. " you didn't lost me. I'm here!" I reported. I ate instant noodle, that's simple. When Eric came to upstair to look for me for dinner, He finally know where I slept last night. This is my dreamland for tonight too.
