I am surprised to learn that the number of women going to prison is greater than the number of men. Your account of this woman first feeling the depth of her own prayer connecting her with God and then seeing and acknowledging God’s action in her family lifts my spirit and blesses us all.

It’s proof that truly, “… all things [can and do] work together for good to them that love God …” (Romans 8:28)

I was a single mother struggling financially for most of my daughter’s life.She was only a year when her father and I ended our marriage. But I had Christian Science and we always were very close. My heart just goes out to these women who are separated from their children. I often think of the Bible promise that God places the solitary in families. I am now a great grandmother of six children and I pray for them, and all of the children of the world, daily.
