BLESSED BY AN INMATES MOTHER

THROUGHOUT THIS PAST YEAR, JIMMY HAS HAD ME CALL ON THE PHONE FAMILY MEMBERS OF INMATES, IF THEY ARE IN NEED OF A SPECIAL FAVOR. I HAVE SPOKEN TO WONDERFUL PEOPLE!...WIVES, MOTHERS,BROTHERS, GIRLFRIENDS. THAT IS HOW WE ARE, JIMMY AND I...WE LIKE TO HELP PEOPLE .........AND SO, BEFORE CHRISTMAS, I CALLED A BROTHER OF AN INMATE.  AFTER A NICE CONVERSATION, HE ACTUALLY INVITED ME TO CHRISTMAS DINNER WITH HIS FAMILY!  CAN YOU IMAGINE...A PURE STRANGER!......KNOWING MY HUSBAND WAS IN PRISON.  HE TOLD ME AROUND 30 FAMILY MEMBERS WOULD BE THERE, COMING AND GOING, WITH CHILDREN RUNNING AROUND THE PLACE.  IT IS INDEED A BLESSING FOR ME TO MEET THESE PEOPLE!.....AND SO YESTERDAY , JIMMY ASKED ME TO CALL SOMEONES MOTHER.  IT WAS ALREADY 10PM, BUT I TOOK THE CHANCE. MAYBE THIS ONE PERSON WOULD SLEEP BETTER TONIGHT, HAVING HEARD ABOUT HER SON THRU ME..............WELL, SURE ENOUGH, I WAS HIGHLY BLESSED!........"SHE" WAS A 77 YEAR OLD WOMAN WITH 9 CHILDREN. HER "BABY," WAS IN PRISON...(44yr. old baby!....IT'S OK! MY MOTHER ALWAYS CALLED ME HER "BABY" NO MATTER HOW OLD I GOT!)  "IS HE OK?" SHE GASPED INTO THE PHONE.  "YES, HE'S DOING JUST FINE," I SAID. " HE WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW HIS PIN NUMBER HAS NOT BEEN WORKING AND HE HAS BEEN HERE FOR 1 MONTH." THEN I PROCEEDED TO GIVE HER THE NUMBER TO CALL IN THE MORNING TO GET THINGS STRAIGHTENED OUT.  SHE ASKED HOW I WAS DOING. I SOMEHOW SAID,"WELL, I'M ALL ALONE." QUICKLY SHE SAID TO ME, "NO, MY CHILD, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. NEVER SAY YOU ARE ALONE. THAT GIVES SATAN THE OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE IN WHEN HE HEARS THOSE WORDS.  ALWAYS SAY "JESUS IS WITH ME."  AND PRAISE THE LORD USING   "ALLELULIA" AND "HALLILULIA."  .......THESE WERE THE MOST COMFORTING AND BEST WORDS ANYONE COULD HAVE TOLD ME. I FELT SO BLESSED TO HAVE SPOKEN TO THIS WOMAN.....AND TRUTHFULLY, SHE FELT LIKE A CARING MOTHER TO ME.
