Blessings!!!

As I was sitting here thinking about the different things that life has for a person, I was thinking about my many Blessings (Bendiciónes)!

I was blessed to be raised in this wonderful truth!

I was blessed to have parents that encouraged me to follow after God. I received the Holy Ghost when I was 9 at a church my dad pastored on Red Oak Road in Livingston, LA.

When I was 23, the Lord blessed me to marry my best friend, Jose Hernandez.

When I was 24, He blessed me with a sweet little girl. Josey Madelynn Hernandez. She has made me see the world through her eyes. That's a pretty awesome experience!

Then, there are people that bless you and things in life that bless you. I wrote all of this to tell you about a person, whom I've never met, that blessed me.

His name is, Billy Roberts.

Bro. Roberts! =o)

Bro. Roberts' granddaughter, Amy Hood, lives here in Belize. She is married to a minister, Jason Hood. (The Hood's are missionaries here as well) Bro. Hood is a musician and is giving lessons to different people here. I am privileged to be one of those students. Not only am I learning keyboard, but I am learning to play the mandolin too.

I had mentioned to Bro. Hood that I was interested in buying a mandolin. He said, "Let me talk to my grandfather-in-law about it." So, he did and Bro. Roberts looked into getting me a mandolin.
While the Hood's were in the U.S. in December for vacation/family time, Bro. Roberts gave a brand new mandolin to the Hood's to bring back to me. I asked the Hood's how much I owed Bro. Roberts. In which they replied, "Nothing, he wanted to do this for you."  I was humbled that a man that doesn't even know me, would do something like this for me.

That goes to show you there are still people with kind hearts in this world.

While I have never met you, Bro. Roberts, I appreciate your sacrifice. It is a blessing to me. Thank you so much and may the Lord richly bless you and yours!
