Old Lady Shelters Homeless Man, One Night She Sees Him Sneaking into Her Room — Story of the Day
An old lady does a favor for a homeless man by providing him shelter in her home, but then one night she was in for a surprise when she noticed him sneaking into her room.
Pat was a lonely woman in her 70s. Her husband, Jonas, had passed away in a car accident that also claimed the life of their son, Josh.
Dealing with their deaths was very difficult for Pat because no one knew exactly how to comfort her. The first couple of days after she identified their bodies saw her too depressed to even get out of bed.

Her friends and family members came from all over the country to comfort her; they were there for her while she planned the burial ceremony of her late hubby and son.
The day the coffins descended into the grave, Pat spent hours crying away her pain, but it never seemed enough. After some time, friends who had traveled miles to be with her left for their homes, having done their best.
It took a while for Pat to feel up to leaving her home, but when she did, the grieving widow went straight to church, where she had an eye-opening conversation with her pastor, John Sunders.
“Glad to finally see you out and about Pat,” he said with a benign smile.
The two had been friends since Pat and her family moved to Michigan. Like her, he also felt the man’s demise deeply.
“Glad to be here pastor,” Pat answered. “I never got to thank you and Sally for coming around constantly to comfort me and see that I have everything I need.”
“Don’t mention it, Pat. In fact, I’m sure Sally would be offended if she heard you thanking us for something as trivial as that,” John said.
“I miss them so much,” Pat suddenly said after they both lapsed into silence.
“I know,” John said. “But these things must needs be. God has a plan even if we can’t understand it.”
“I’ve been trying to accept that but losing them both at the same time really had me questioning my faith. In truth pastor, I am here to remedy that.”
