In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.”

Sean could only read the first two verses from the book of John before his eyes filled with tears. He knew Charlie had supper on the table, but he felt an urgency to spend a few moments in God’s Word. He bowed his head and prayed before he left the room. Sean thanked God for his life, his wife, and his family before his mind swung back to Charlotte and dwelt there.

“I don’t know if this is love, God,” he whispered, “but I care for her so much. Please help Charlotte to understand that she needs to know Your Son personally. Please save her and use us to Your glory.”

The moment these words were out of his mouth, Sean envisioned them leaving for Hawaii. He stood from his kneeling place next to the bed and gazed out the window like a man in a trance.

“Back to Hawaii! Oh, God,” Sean cried softly, “could that thought be from You, because nothing would make me happier than for me to return to Hawaii with Charlotte, so we could work with Father.”

Sean took a moment more to give his future to God and in doing so felt an indescribable peace fall over him. He knew he couldn’t tell Charlie how he felt, but he also knew that if the thought had come from the Lord, then He would work it out.

“Sean,” Charlie called from outside the door. He’d taken more time than he thought. He opened the door to see her waiting in the hall.

“Are you all right?”

“I’m fine, Charlotte. I was reading my Bible. Did I keep you long?”

“No, but I did wonder what had happened to you. Sadie expects us for baths tonight, and I’m tired. I’d like to get over there and home before it gets too late.”

Charlie talked as she led the way to the supper table where the young couple sat down and ate. Their conversation was light. Then over dishes, Charlie brought up a subject that nearly made Sean drop the plate he was drying.

“I think we should go to church in the morning.”

Sean didn’t answer for a moment, and Charlie turned from the dishpan to look at him. “What do you think?”

“I’d like that, Charlotte, if you’re sure.”

“I’m sure. I think we should go to Duncan and Lora’s church.”

“That sounds fine.” Fine was not the way Sean was feeling. Ecstatic, overjoyed, or elated better described his mood, but he wasn’t sure he would be able to explain himself to Charlie if he suddenly began to do handstands in the kitchen.

Ten minutes later they were on their way to Sadie’s, and Charlie asked if Sean’s family was well.

“They’re doing pretty well. I should have read the letter to you over supper.”

“You don’t mind if I know what’s in the letter?” Charlie seemed surprised.

“Not at all. In fact, I’ll read it to you when we get home.
