I connected two great stories which may brought me releasing two tears. These stories are the proof that the Lord is supporting each of us. Just be brave and honest, and you will get your reward, here and now.
The first story is about the homeless which we hope he will never return to the streets.
A homeless man who made headlines for returning a diamond and platinum
engagement ring to a woman who accidentally dropped it in his beggar's
cup has finally reunited with his long-lost family face-to-face.
"I never would've thought this," Billy Ray Harris of Kansas City, Mo., said during a joyous reunion with his siblings on the "Today" show on Sunday. "This was a total shock."
Harris, 55, hadn't seen his relatives in nearly 16 years when he committed his life-changing good deed.
"I'd been worried sick about my family since the last time I saw them," Harris told TODAY.com. "I totally lost contact with them back in the 90's…I was kind of down in the dumps, and on the verge of giving up." Harris was planning to finally see his family in person this summer, but the “Today” show decided to speed up the reunion.
