Meet My Friend, Reginald

This is Reginald. Reginald has an incredible story, and is still writing his own story! Reginald was born and raised in Houston. He was raised by his Mother, and had a happy childhood. At a young age, Reginald fell into a bad crowd and got mixed up with drugs and alcohol abuse. For 40 years Reginald said, "Drugs and alcohol stole my life from me." He tried countless times to quit, but fell victim to the overwhelming addiction. A year ago, Reginald joined a 12 step program. His 84-year-old mother was ecstatic to finally be getting her son back. She made him promise he would finish the program even if she passed away. A week before he graduated the program, his mother passed. After successful completion of the program, Reginald decided he had no choice but to board up his house where he previously lived in addiction. He moved to a Catholic charity homing program where he now works as a cook for the Loaves and Fishes Soup Kitchen. Reginald is quiet, but if you ask him about his story, he is so proud to share it with you. He loves being able to serve, and be a testament to those who may be going through what he went through. Reginald gives all glory and praise to God. he couldn't express to me enough how he was so excited for the new life he had found for himself. He said, "The power of God is good." Reginald is still working to continue his life on a positive track. He hopes to one day live in his own home again. Reginald is hard-working, and so welcoming. He is an example to so many around him who are going through what he went through. Please pray for Reginald! Visiting with people like Reginald leaves me wondering, if maybe there are angels among us.
