Shoes from a builder for a homeless builder who after a week as he got on the train found a job and was about to move to work. Well, but since he got on the train as he stood there means that he was not prepared for work at all. He was about to start work on a construction site, as a bricklayer, so he needed shoes for construction. I ask him – What shoe size do you wear? – 42- he replies – You can’t start working without shoes! What to do here- I pray and hear – Someone stranger will buy shoes for a stranger. On Sunday in church he will. Well. If it happens. so be it! I heard that I am to take to church the 'Sunday’ magazine, in which there was an article about us ” Rescue for the afflicted” \/ 07.02.2021 No. 6\/ 2021\/ and on Sunday I will find this person during mass.  He is supposed to be a stranger, and so I can not look among acquaintances, well.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I entered the church I pray and immediately I know, this is the person, I will approach him after Mass. Well.  Mass is over, the man leaves, I walk up and follow him. We leave the church and the conversation begins<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

– Excuse me I need shoes – and so I start. My tongue gets a little tangled because I’ve never been in a situation like this, but suddenly when I get to the point I look at the man and he looks at me and the best part was what he said:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

– I am a construction worker, I know my shoes, I will buy you a pair. What’s better, I have a homeless man myself on the construction site, whom I hire and help him.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I look and my eyes don’t believe it. Could there have been a better match? After all, I see him for the first time, in my life. He was supposed to be a stranger.  Not only a stranger, but also a builder, he knows about shoes and yet helps another homeless person, because he has already given a job to someone and he will buy the shoes!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I don’t know how it happened that found him. Such a person will not only buy shoes, but who is he?  The shoes were bought and shipped on Monday. I get a picture, because they were supposed to come on time, after all, he was supposed to start work in them. Shoes from a builder for a builder, for a new life arranged by the Holy Spirit. God is great and alive. Interestingly, the man writes back that the homeless man he is taking care of declared that you want to change lives indeed, and he feels touched that God saw him in that church, that it was a special weekend for him, that it touched him so much, the first Sunday of Lent, and he was asked for shoes for a new life for the homeless man. God sees us, God connects us, God finds us in the church. He finds such a person that if I canvassed maybe the whole church, everyone going out I might not find that person. Meanwhile, from the Holy Spirit everything is extraordinary.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

May JESUS be glorified, in this man who got the shoes and in the one who gave them for a new life. Asked so suddenly to buy the shoes, the builder was so happy that he texted me – 'Thank you I can be a part of this’. This shows that God sees me and loves me. Great is the joy in this. I always testify to His love, but this weekend was special and I feel like I received the most from HIM. „<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
