This is about the power of faith. in the book of Job, a series of unfortunate events happen to Job. His servants were slain, his sheep were consumed, his house was destroyed.
"Then Job arose and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
And said Naked came I, out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord."
Job 1: 20-21
I read this a few mornings ago and it reminded me of the great strength in faith I have witnessed amongst the people here. I can't tell you how many people have spoken to me about their own stories in living with HIV. And they are also the stories of the families and their friends.
People have come and gone in their lives. They have seen great desparation and have seen people they love disappear, and they thank God each day that they can praise Him. They have next to no possessions, and they thank God each day.

Philippians 4:8
one of my favs :) and almost seems true of the people you are encountering...they may not have much and they may have a terrible disease...but they are finding the good in their life and praising it.
i think more people need to try for this (including myself)
love you
