RICK

Most of you know that I memorized the book of Phillippians, several years ago, when Audrey challenged the women at Women's Life to do so. I didn't have a clue as to why, until I discovered I was to write the son of a friend of mine who was in prison.We've been writing back and forth ever since!
Well, yesterday, his parents called me, and I got to talk to Rick himself!
He is out of prison and home with his parents! I could never have received a happier gift right now! In fact, I smiled for the first time in three weeks, a truly BIG smile of great gratitude.
Rick said on the days when he was at his lowest, he would read and re-read my letters and find that the verses I gave him from Philippians gave him so much hope!
What an encouragement!
The Lord has a way of reaching us, doesn't He? Rick became a believer in prison and I'm hoping his parents will too now, through the witness of Rick and the words of Paul!
Paul had no idea how far his book would reach when he wrote it!
