Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to
comfort
them
which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are
comforted of God.
2 Corinthians 1:4

This world is bursting with those who have lost hope. Those who once
had a
song in their heart, joy in their steps, laughter on their faces,
family
that surrounded and loved them. What happened? The scenarios can be
numerous
but the outcome always the same. Someone stopped caring, and loving,
and was
too busy to step in and help. Whether they are imprisoned with bars
or
their
souls are imprisoned they want to be free. They desire to laugh to
love
and
be loved once again. Their agony often silent to our ears. Too often
we
refuse to stop, to help, to listen and to be a friend. What could
possibly
be so pressing in our lives that it surpasses our obligation to care
for a
hungry and lost soul? A few moments of our day that could make eternal
differences. A little thoughtfulness in love that can restore a soul,
rekindle a flame that has been snuffed out by sin, or renew a song
that
has
been planted in a heart. Shedding the hope of Jesus Christ
enlightening
their darkness.

Spencer, injustice makes me really mad, that's why I try to do whatever I can to help out. And I'm trying to find some information to set up a pen pal program for prisoners in Belgium and Holland. But this is pretty hard, because we do not have the public info about prisoners. and we don't have these crazy long term sentences (i.e. 'life' sentence = 20 years)

But I will never stop fighting to abolish the death penalty and all the things that are going wrong and being done in prisons over there...

THANK YOU TOO, SORAYA... OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU ARE VERY SPECIAL.... PROUD TO BE A ON LINE FRIEND.....

DONNA

That is beautiful Spencer. Thanks for sharing that. It brought tears to my eyes.
