Callie slipped under the covers in the four poster bed that had been Julia and Leland’s. She’d heard Jack come upstairs a few moments ago and she felt guilty enjoying the comfort of this large bedchamber while he made do with the smaller bed in the room across the hall.

But he’d insisted on those arrangements, arguing that in a month or so he planned to be gone anyway, and that the spare room accommodations were a step up from what he was used to while on the job.

Much as he would deny it, the man really did have a kind heart beating somewhere under that gruff exterior of his.

Too bad he didn’t let it show more often.

His insistence that she would have a difficult time with the farm chores was worrisome. Surely he was being overly-pessimistic. She could make this work. She had to.

After all, wasn’t this where God intended her to be?

Jack had been as good as his word when it came to the family bible reading. Though he’d asked her to pick out the verse, he’d done the reading himself and then asked Simon to lead them in prayer afterward.

Her heart warmed at the thought that God might be using her to help Jack find his way back.

Dear Heavenly Father, help me to be the sort of example You desire me to be.

And with that, she snuggled down into her pillow. But thoughts of Jack’s insistence that he’d be moving on in a month or so made it hard for her to find the easy slumber she’d hoped for.
