Chapter 10

Although Essie was thrilled about her newfound culinary career, and discovering her natural calling was like finding gold in a hidden treasure box, every now and then she would have a sad spell. Sometimes she would sit in the corner by herself, feeling sad about how life started so unfairly for her. More than anything else, she had a strong and growing concern about her infertility. She felt cursed by God for not being able to have children. Worse than that, she felt that she would always be shunned by men for being barren. It was at this point that Essie started smoking. It just felt right. It helped her to think more clearly during her mood swings.

One day, while on her daily errands, Essie decided to take a cigarette break, she sat on the wall and gazed over the town. Deep in thought and reflecting on how her life was going, she was interrupted, when a minister walked up to her and introduced himself.

“Hello, pretty young lady. My name is Rev. Paul Murray. What’s yours?”

“Essie, sir, she replied cordially, a bewildered look on her face.

“You look a bit sad today.”

“I am okay, sir.”

“Tell me, my child, what’s on your mind?” The reverend insisted.

Essie took a good look at the well-mannered and rather handsome, black, middle-aged minister.

“Are you the pastor at Holy Cross Church of God in Mt. Salem?”

“Yes, my dear child. Have you ever been to my church?”

“Yes, sir,” Essie said. “I attended your Easter ceremony last year.”

“Really?”

“I went with Nurse Ferguson and her family.”

“Great. I’m very happy to hear you attended my church once before, but Miss Essie, it doesn’t have to be an Easter celebration for you to attend my church service.”

“I know, sir.”

“I would like you to pay us a visit next Sunday if you can.”

Essie thought for a long while then responded with a request of her own. “Pastor, I have a question for you.”

“What is it my child?”

“Why am I cursed by God?”

“No! No! Never say that again, my child. That is not true. You are a special child of God. If you were not special, He would not have sent me here to talk with you today.”

“Well, if I’m so special, why can’t I have children?”

The reverend closed his eyes and turned his face upward in a very dramatic way as he offered a quick whispered prayer to God. “Do you believe in God, my child?”

“Yes, sir,” she said without hesitation.

“Well let’s go somewhere and talk about this matter. Where do you live? Is it very close by here?”

“Yes, sir.”

The reverend stood up, turned to look around him, wanting to ensure their privacy. It was as if he was about to do or say the unforgivable. “The Lord is telling me right now that I should touch you so you can be healed.”

Those words sounded very good to Essie’s ears and she nodded several times. “Yes pastor, I live not very far from here,” she said, relief and joy on her face.

“Let me take you home.
