*Warning: May be a hard read for some.

Sara stopped in the hallway , the picture of Emily and Brad caught her eye. She sighed.  Eight years old now, and another birthday without her father there.  Sara had to put on her brave face , for Emily’s sake.  Sara picked up another picture on the same table.

Her mind raced, “I am sorry Mr. and Mrs. Green, there is no easy way to say this.  The scans and biopsy confirm it’s brain cancer. 

Sara went outside in the afternoon breeze, pausing to look at the flowers blowing in the wind.   She noticed certain groups of the flowers were bent. Carefully, Sara tried to stand it back up , but to no avail.  

“I wonder why certain groups of flowers are leaning over. These are the same type over here, and they are standing straight up.”

Sara proceeded to look it up on her phone and began reading, “Plants lean when they are weak and/ or trying to get sunlight.”

Later that evening, Emily and Sara enjoyed roasting hot dogs and s’mores over the fire. 

Emily looked up at the night sky. 

“Mommy! Mommy!”

Sara awoke startled. 

“Emily, what’s the matter?”

“Mommy! Mommy!” Emily cried. 

Sara flung the blankets off her bed, and ran down the hallway. She opened Emily’s bedroom door to find Emily hiding under the covers. Just then a loud boom of thunder echoed outside. 

A yell pierced Sara’s ears. A familiar voice heard over the crashing waves. Sara looked up, to see her daughter in tears.  

“Oh, Emily! What’s wrong?”  Sara called out as she rushed to Emily’s side. 

“A sea shell got in my shoe,” Emily cried. 

“Let me see.” Sara removed Emily’s shoe and turned it upside down. A piece of broken shell fell out.  She put the water shoe on the sand, and inspected her daughter’s foot.  “I see the cut, Emily.  Put your shoe back on and walk up to our spot on the beach, and I’ll use the first aid kit.”

“Okay,” Emily sniffled. 

They walked together back to Sarah’s chair. Emily sat down as Sara doctored and bandaged her foot.

It wasn’t until Sunday afternoon, that I was led to do more with my character of Sara that was created.

These are fictional stories, with lsssons to be learned. I am unsure how many stories will be created, or how often I will post a new story. I hope to just follow the Lord’s leading.

Welcome back to another Faithful Friday encouragement: “The God who sees…”

To those who are dealing with grief or a painful situation that you don’t understand…

This is something I wrote down, in part, on 9/12/23.

The short of it is I was struggling with grief to the point of crying myself to sleep the for a few night Missing a dear friend. Wondering if my desire to see my sister in Christ again, was becoming an idol , replacing my ultimate desire to see the Lord.

Begging God not to waste the pain, I didn’t understand this time. This Deep wound that takes time to heal. I had a longing for comfort , but God seemed to be saying no.
