House of Hope Prison Ministry,
Dear Friends in Christ,
And I must say, first and foremost – “Faithful Friends” in Christ…
Do you know, sometimes yours are the only letters that I receive; often times, the only birthday card I receive. And this has dawned on me to write and say, Thank You for the continued effort to bring Christ into my life.
I’ve forgotten my Prayer Warrior number; please send it to me with a card like I got at first, with the # on it. Please!
I’ve had my share of days when I had to say, God has done enough! Meaning it’s time for me to do and accept the fact that God has done enough. I would-a, should-a, could-a changed my life totally. I failed in thought, word, and deed; because I left a lot undone. I played a lot of good people for fools and it hurts. It’s a daily torment in my life, due to my lifestyle, that I wish to keep closed for this letter
I didn’t have any paper, so I had to use this. [This is written on the reverse side of a Medical Service Request form.] You know I come from a poor family. I didn’t have much, but the Lord’s been good to me, even in the midst of my deepest foolish behavior. I’m sorry for what I could have changed.
Your devotions come in handy at my weakest moments. When they call my bed #, I don’t know what to expect. But I know this; I have people who love me.
It’s not easy being me. And to have faithful friends who pray comes in handy. When I get out, I’m going to the halfway house to completely change my life. I’ve been drug-free and smoke-free for two months – it’s a must I stop what got me here.
You know life ain’t always beautiful; but it’s a beautiful ride. Amen.
May the good Lord richly bless you, and keep you. And again, thank you for your continued support and love. It goes un-thanked often. I just want you to know that it’s a good feeling. My life has experienced some very true up’s and down’s. I must say it’s a great feeling to have a friend in Christ.
Mom doesn’t write; Sister doesn’t either; Aunt, she loves me, I know. The only letters I get are from House of Hope. I had a friend who suddenly gave up on me. The House of Hope keeps on giving. Amen – Thank God for you, friends who daily pray. Without prayer, I wouldn’t be sober.
Happy Thanksgiving to you’ll. Love you.
