| Phone Call of Hope Over twenty years agao I received a letter from my sister telling me that she did not want me to be a part of her life anymore. She also stated that her daughter felt the same way. I had just been served divorce papers, my mother had just died and now this. All of this occured right before Christmas. Even though my sister and my niece wanted to disown me, I still kept them in my prayers. My niece developed breast cancer and I knew that it was not going to be easy for her or her family. I prayed for her. She is now 10 years out and cancer free. One Saturday I was struggling with my spiritual hope. I was talking with a friend of mine, David, when my call waiting chimed in. I normally say, "They will call back if it is important." This time I didn't do that. I took the call. The voice on the other end said, "This is Valerie." I said, "There is no one here by that name." She said, "No this is Valerie." I said, "I'm sorry but I do not know a Valerie. Are you sure you have the right number?" They said, "No this is your great-niece Valerie." I could not believe my ears. All of these years of waiting and not losing hope. I did not know what to say. She said, "Uncle Jimmy, I just called to tell you I loved you." I told her that I loved her too. That was all that was said. I started crying like a baby. The last time I saw her she was a baby. God gave me a message that day. All is not lost. She had to know that she might get in trouble for calling me on her grandmother's (my sister's) home phone. |

Prayer Works Miss Jeanne Two times that I know of prayer worked for Miss Jeanne. The first time was when I received a phone call telling me that Jeanne's son was in intinsive care in Nashville with meningitis. Jeanne was feeling pretty depressed because she was in San Antonio and he was in Nashville. She started losing her faith in prayer. I called her up and told her that I would have a mutual friend of ours, Roy Butler, pray for her son on the radio. Shortly after he offered the prayer, her son called her from Nashville telling her that everything was alright and he was in a private room. The second time was when Miss Jeanne, Miss Donna and myself were asked to go on a radio show, "Coping With Cancer." Miss Jeanne being a colon cancer survivor an I being a leukenia survivor and Miss Donna (my wife) was there for support. When we arrived on that Saturday night, Miss Jeanne told me that the doctors had discovered some spots on her liver and that they thought that they were cancerous. She said that she was to go in for testing in a couple of days. Well Brother Roy asked for prayers for Jeanne on the show. Later that week Miss Jeanne received her report and the doctors could not find the spots. They had gone away. God Bless you Miss Jeanne |
