In 1984, Louise Degraffinreid of Mason, Tennessee, astounded the nation when she persuaded an escaped convict to surrender.  The prisoner, brandishing a gun, surprised Louise’s husband outside their modest home and forced him inside.  Louise was not afraid of the gun.  Amazingly, this grandmotherly woman, with a confidence that had to be from God, convinced the prisoner that he should put his gun down while she fixed him some breakfast.  Surprisingly, the prisoner responded.  She spoke to him about her faith in Jesus and how a young man like him would have a better life if he accepted Jesus also. 

When the breakfast was ready, they had grace together and Louise prayed for the young man.  They ate together, and, by a miraculous working of the Spirit, the young man telephoned authorities and before long he was on his way back to a Tennessee prison.

We never know what our witness of love -- in word and deed -- will do for another person.
