50 cents

my dear friends and family,

today the cleaners came to clean my house, their fee is $120.  as i had hurt my back, i did not go to the bank and had only $100 in my wallet and was $20 short.

i did not want to owe them any money, so i tried 'treasure hunting'.  i found a few dollars in my coin purse, as i was putting andrews jeans away, i heard some clinging noice and was happy to find a few dollar coins there, altogether i got about $15.  i then went into the guest room, kevin normally leaves a box of coins there but, unfortunately, the box was gone and i could only pick up a few small change, totalling about $3.80.  so i was about $1.20 short.

at that time, i silently talked to the gohonzon saying that i needed enough money to pay the cleaners.  i HAVE to find $2 somewhere.

 i went into the study and searched under the cushion of andrews leather seat, THERE I FOUND ONE DOLLAR  , but i was still about 20 cents short.  i went to the living room and searched under the cushions, andrew normally drops his coins there, however i found nothing in the first one, i did not give up and started searching the second one, THERE I FOUND 50 CENTS!!!!  I WAS EXHILATERED.  after paying the $120, i still have about 30 cents left.

i really would like to say that:

a. if we trust the gohonzon, there will be no dead ends for us.
b. if we try to achieve something, and it does not immediately happen, pls dont give up, just one more step and you will be there.

i am soooo glad to share the above with you.

cheers
