The weather here has been more October than High Summer,,,Gorgeous by the lake, turtles, osprey, red-headed woodpeckers, the graceful stately white swan. But it has been bloody cold in the mornings. So I was scrounging around for a hoodie because when I left the most boring town in the universe I had packed all my winter away thinking, hey it is shorts and flip-flops!!
So I met a sweet man, a Christian who walks the walk, talks the Bible and Jesus but truly emulates Christ: doesn't just pay a phony holy roller lipservice. I know HR's --I have lived with quite a few since I lost G and a real home and have been on the carousel of twisted stranger roommates....
Anyway, this man came across my path. And I could not find a hoodie and he said I wil give you mine, and He took off his gorgeous white LOVE hoodie and gave it to me.
The hoodie was from Hume Lake in the Sierras and has a special meaning attached to it. A young Christian man who believed most strongly in the Lord had leukemia off and on for his entire childhood complete with bone marrow transplants etc. And so he finally said enough with these painful treatments that are not inevitably working and decided to travel around, in his early 20s witnessing for Christ. His friends and family raised $$$$ for him and apparently sold this lovely LOVE hoodie to generate funds for his travels. The young man did go around witnessing in his final part of life, sadly he did succomb to his deathly leukemia. So it is a special special hoodie for me and I will cherish it always. Thank you to Luke and to the young man Clayton who courageously battled cancer. Thank you for your sweet and Christlike spirits.
