Pastor John,
I just had to write to tell on God!! I am going to try to keep this short. A few months ago some folks here decided to do the OT class. Well, Paul and I thought it would be good for Jacob. And boy it has!! Sunday, Paul wasn’t feeling well, so I took Jacob. It was so sweet to see him. I know there are some things in the OT class that he doesn’t understand, but it was very sweet to watch him. It was never a thought in his mind to stay home. He just wanted to know who was going to take him.
Well, today after school I sent him in the grocery to grab a few things. A little while later this little old man on oxygen came out of the store. He was walking very slow across the street. A young lady was waiting for him to cross but you could tell by her body language she wanted him to move faster. I thought to myself, “God, I hope Jacob would be more compassionate.” About that time, Jacob came out of the store. The first thing he did was walk over to car window. He said, Mama, I hope you don’t mind, but there was an old man in there on oxygen. And he didn’t have enough money, so I gave him my three dollars. He gave me my change back.”
I just sat there thinking about what I just said to God! Jacob said the woman checking them out told him that was a very kind thing to do! As I was driving home I had this thought: “They are who they really are, when you’re not around.” And we are who we really are when you [Pastor John] are not around!! I just had to tell on God and Jacob.
Jammie.
P.S. The money Jacob gave that man was his own!!

Beautiful stories, Jammie. Thanks for sending that to me!
