Joy

“Are you Grandfather?” a delighted Timmy shouted as they waded ashore. “Did you see my Leviathan?” He scrambled onto the sandy shore, now beginning to shiver and wrapping his arms around himself.

“The angel named Levi,” chimed in a drenched but ever-smiling Lijah.

“I am indeed Grandfather, my new special friends.” Grandfather smiled at Timmy and Lijah and took off his jacket, wrapping it around the amazingly gangly young man. “However, I did not see this amazing creature.” He placed a towel around Timmy. “I do know, though, Jajireh has worked a creative miracle. You have been reported dead due to the boat mishap. They are still looking for the watchers.”

The two young watchers looked at each other and back at the rest. They stepped up to Grandfather. One asked, “What do we do? If we go back, we could betray you or be found out ourselves.”

“Let’s stay here, Jacob,” the other one suggested. “Let them think us dead outer men. Then we can become real inner men. But that would be tough for our families.”

“Maybe yours, Drew.” The first young man shoved his hands into his wet pockets and scowled. “Mine probably wouldn’t know the difference. They’re just into themselves.”

“You will need to go back,” Josiah instructed. He walked around next to Grandfather and faced them. “We’ll need you to contact other watchers who might be willing to become LAMBers and keep an eye on those like Nathan who truly want us dead.”

“But first…” Grandfather’s voice was firm and kind. “You must come to the cabin, get warmed and fed, and be instructed in the ways of King Glory. Then perhaps, your friend, young man—” He looked directly at Timmy. “—could deposit them back in an appropriate place for rescue. We will pray it can all be accomplished. So come.” Grandfather turned and headed up the path to the secluded cabin.

They climbed the bluff, leaving dripping paths running down in rivulets alongside the roots and rocks.

Grandfather had food waiting, and the enticing smells greeted them as they came through the doors.

Amber hugged Josiah. “So glad you’re okay. I don’t even care that I’m all wet now.”

“Yeah, man.” Brad slapped Josiah on the back. “We’ve been praying and getting things ready for this fine group.” He smiled at the others. “Welcome. We are so pleased you’re here.”

Josiah sighed. “Oh, man, I’m starved. Dig in, everyone. Grandfather always has plenty. Thank you, Grandfather.”

“I also have dry clothes. Good thing your grandmother didn’t throw much away. Find something that will basically fit, and hang your wet things on the rope I’ve strung on the porch.”

Soon everyone was sitting around the house munching and chattering about their harrowing trip.

“I still don’t know why I wasn’t scared,” said Tara, one of the older girls. “I’m not that naturally peaceful or calm.”

“I’m not either, but I thought I was going to hyperventilate when I saw Timmy’s Leviathan. I don’t think I was afraid, just so excited.” Glenda was the same age as Tara. The clothes she selected enveloped her small frame, and she just sat gazing all around at Grandfather’s home.
