“Toll Free” - Jacqueline Wade Waltemeyer June 5, 1995

“Whenever we're feeling troubled or blue needing so much, someone to talk too it always seems no one is there the phone lines are busy, the bell doesn't care. It’s times like these we must rely on the Lord. He has all the time others cannot afford. He provides us with comfort to ease our pain. He loves us until we can love us again. His phone is never busy we can always get through. No long-distance charges, will he charge back to you. He is loving and caring, quite understanding. He will help us with life and give us safe landing. He has plenty of time to hear us out, we can laugh or cry, we can even shout we need not be fearful or even embarrassed we can walk in His garden or on His terrace. Our serenity returns as we will listen to Him. His divine plan will relieve us from sin. How lucky we are to have Him as our friend we know we can call Him again and again”
