So many Blessings from God..I don't know where to begin!

So many blessings today, God is great.
Got up this morning, said my prayers and headed to the Post Office to pick up a package my sister Missy Coco sent me. Three pairs of smart wool socks and a box full of yummy organic treats for the
road,  and some muscle cream to soothe my aching muscles. Thank you and God Bless Missy Coco!
While in the Post Office I had handed out some of my cards. One nice young lady I gave a card to came out and thanked me for what I was doing and said she suffered and struggles with some mental health issues. Thank you Ma'am for sharing your story with me and remember there are many people like me who are concerned and care about you personally as with many others. It was a blessing to be able to meet you today! :-)
As I travel along the road on my journey I came upon a small truck stop, Felicia's Truck Stop. So I stopped for a coffee. As I walked in I was met by Tony who said...your not walking to California are you? I said yes I sure am. He told me he was a vet and that one had passed through months ago on his way to California. I told him what my walk was for and he offered me something to eat and drink, so I thanked him and got a cup of coffee. Him and Felicia were as nice as anyone could ask for. We talked a bit, then went out side so I could get some pictures with them. Tony asked me if I needed a hat and I actually did, so I said yes. He went to his truck and got it out. It was a brand new hat and happened to be exactly the type of hat I was looking for. I am telling you God has been blessing me beyond belief. As we talked some more Tony told me about a person in his life that is going through quite a bit, his name is Brendan and I would appreciate it if everyone would say a prayer for him and pray that he finds the help and comfort that he needs. And please pray for Brendan's family also. What a blessing to meet Tony and Felicia. God bless you all!
Now, I guess someone did not like all the blessings I was receiving from God,  so as I made my way down the highway I noticed my cart was pushing funny. I looked down and saw I had a flat tire. No problem. I had a can of fix a flat. Well, it only held air for about 4 minutes and went flat again. No problem, I could still push it just fine.
Then the bottom fell out and it started pouring, I saw the clouds building earlier, so I had my rain gear out and ready, no problem! Then the nice 8 foot shoulder I was walking on narrowed down to bout 1 1/2 feet. Okay, those
three things happened within minutes of each other so my reply to myself was: The devil went down to Georgia looking for a soul to steal, he came across the footcruiser, hoping to make a deal. The footcruisers reply was, hit me with your best shot...fire away (oh..wrong song..Lol). Devil, there is deal, I've got Jesus and you can't take away my Zeal. Amen amd thank you Jesus. The rain was refreshing. The cart pushed well enough to get me to where God wanted me to go. And the shoulder may have narrowed, but the path God put in front of me was a pleasure to walk knowing I had the comfort of his companionship.
Now you would think that was it, but oh no..God had more blessings to come.
As I got to where I was going to spend the night, Faye from the Cotton Gin Cafe & Inn at 37 East Marion St. Reynolds, Georgia greeted me at the door. She asked about my walk, then asked of I had eaten any thing besides granola bars today. I told her I had some snacks along the way. She asked what types of food I ate and treated me to a salad and a grilled chicken  breast. And as if that was not enough, she gave me a very nice room at a nice price. I have to say out of all honesty, this was the nicest room I have stayed in
on my journey. I know I said that about one a few days ago, but hey, God's blessings just keep getting better.
Hold up..don't change the channel yet...I'm still not done. I got my tube off to see about fixing it. I went into the convenience store here at the Inn and as I was going in Faye was coming out. She asked if she could help me, I told her I was trying to figure out how to fix my tube. She went to the counter and asked a gentleman to run me down the road to a shop to see if they could patch it. He took me down there and they fixed it with no charge. Thank you very much! It won't fill with air for me...it must be the noozle not connecting good, so when I leave in the morning I will stop by and have them fill it. What a great and blessful day I have had.  I just hope I can touch people's lives through God as well as all those I have met today.
I am not good at this Mobile phone and blogging so the picture's below are from today..but I don't know how to caption them.
