Hopeful
“The previous fall had been especially cold. They’d gotten snow in September and it had stayed cold most of the fall.
This year’s fall was a welcome change. So far they’d had more warm days than cool ones. Junior and his brothers had been taking advantage of the warm weather, spending the majority of their days outside, mending fencing, plowing fields, cutting back brush.
This morning, Junior had been focused on repairing some fencing around his mother’s garden.
The small job had bee...n perfect for his head and heart. He needed some time to think.
Over and over, he’d replayed his visit to Miriam’s. Sometimes he felt guilty, because he’d known he’d disappointed her, even though Miriam had tried to pretend otherwise.
Other times, he would half convince himself that he’d done nothing wrong. It wasn’t his fault that he didn’t fancy Miriam. The Lord worked in mysterious ways, and for whatever reason, He hadn’t seen fit to make them the right people for each other.MoreLess
