I am currently working and praying with a woman in jail helping her to love each person no matter who they are, no matter what the situation. This enlightened way of looking at people has helped her attitude tremendously. She helps others in the jail as much as she can, and she really strives to love and bless each person, prosecutor, judge, false witness, etc. The story you related is truly an inspiration, and I will share it with her. When a life is changed, inspired, that person goes on the help others in the same way. It is wonderful to see!

Thank you for being a good and faithful servant- the laborers may be few, but the harvest is plenty!
