Dear Meg, I thank God today that I have ‘found’ you. I see that you have walked a long road with the Master. I cannot imagine the amount of tears that washed your face all these years. Your words have the fragrance of perfume. I can smell it thru the laptop. It is my privilege to read your letters. I was born in Romania. I am 66. I was an atheist until I became saved thru a crisis conversion. I live in Nigeria with my husband. We are both medical doctors by profession, but now in full time ministry. We have 3 adult children who live in Texas and 7 grandchildren. I send you greetings… From my lockdown to yours… The Spirit is ONE! God bless you!
