The family was feeling it. I didn\u2019t know how to help her. One morning I asked God to give me an opportunity to do something. That afternoon I received a very fancy gift, a ceramic plate with fine chocolates. Thinking that this would be something that Sandra would appreciate, I sent it to her. After a while, Sandra telephone me laughing: \u201cYou send me a recycled present: in the middle of the dish I found a note addressed to you.\u201d I started to laugh too and the telephone call went on for a long time with hearts open wide. Sandra confided he fear to me and I encouraged her to share it with her family. A few days later my friend said that Sand had begun a new dialogue with the mother and sisters, and something melted away in her.<br \/>\nT. M. \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/focolare-worldwide\/europa\/slovacchia\/\">Slovak Republic<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Quality Pots<\/strong><br \/>\nI had come to know of a young married couple, just arrived from Canada. They didn\u2019t have anything to live on and were working for work. On day asked myself what I could give them, which would be useful to them. Opening the kitchen cabinet I saw my favorite pot that cooks so well because of its fine quality. I felt Jesus inviting me to detach myself and, after polishing it, I invited the couple over for supper and gave the pot to them. They were both very happy. A few days later my father dropped by to see me. In the back of his car there was a gift for me. He had no idea what it was, because it was from my sister. Opening it, I saw a set of three fine quality pots, and the bigger one was the same exact size as the one I had given away.<br \/>\nC.

The hardest times to put up with were the holidays. That\u2019s when I felt the most solitude that no one could fill. On day, as I was rushing to the bus stop, the window of car went down and a young man asked me if I needed a ride. He assured me that he hadn\u2019t stopped with any alternative motives. That gesture overwhelmed me and I accepted. In the car, I asked him why he had done it and he replied by giving me a small copy of the Gospels. When I got home, I felt urged to read it and, the more I read it, the more I felt a new hop growing in me. Then, I went to ask a priest if I could talk with him. That\u2019s how I began my ascent.<br \/>\nN.

That same night our landlord came looking for the money. It was Thursday. When I asked him to come back on Saturday \u2013 because I wasn\u2019t sure we\u2019d get paid that day \u2013 he agreed. We prayed some more, together with our six children. Friday morning, a friend came to visit us, our fellow-countryman. As he said goodbye, he handed us an envelope. It contained four thousand shillings. We were thrilled and overwhelmed: besides the money for the rent, we were also able to buy something to eat.<br \/>\nF.
