EXCERPT FROM A LIVING HOPE
The ringing phone brought him back to the present. Time never stood still. His father was buried. And now he felt the full force of his parents’ wish for him to pastor the church. On the flight home, he’d underplayed the tug their desire would exert on his conscience. But wisdom demanded that he seek God before making a final decision. Especially since his mother refused to leave her home and expected him relocate to Shiatown. Last June, he’d begun a promising relationship and preferred not to test the waters long distance. Kyle took another glance around the bedroom before gently closing the door.
Sadie popped into his mind again as he headed downstairs. Before lying down, Sarah had placed the white calla lily Sadie had sent on top of the mantel in the living room. The florist had left the bloom on the porch of their house. Sadie’s simple message had touched his mother’s heart.
Please accept my regrets. I miss being there today. So sorry …
Sadie Mae Cummings.
As always, when he thought of her, a replay of their last meeting filled his memory. That agonizing confrontation had grown him up in a hurry. Kyle had gone to bed that night with a different mindset than the one he’d awakened with that morning.
Truth be told, a change in his life had come quickly after that meeting with her and Lincoln. Undeniable blessings had lessened the shock of losing his fiancée to another man. In fact, many past nemeses fled in the aftermath of his fighting for her. He’d tried hard to save Sadie from herself in spite of Lincoln laughing in his face.
Every aspect of the day filled his mind.
