“Did you know that one can know God—personally?” she tentatively asked Samuel as they prepared for bed that evening.

Samuel’s head came up and he lifted a hand to brush back the straying lock of brown hair.

“You didn’t?” he said in disbelief.

Cassandra felt her cheeks grow warm. “I—I thought I did,” she managed to respond, “but today I discovered—that I didn’t. I really only—only knew about Him. I—I wasn’t really—one of the family,” she finished lamely.

Samuel did not accuse or argue. He looked at her evenly, willing her to go on and share her heart.

“Virginia and I had a chat,” she continued. “She—she helped me to see the difference.”

Samuel nodded.

Tears began to form in Cassandra’s eyes in spite of her resolve not to shed them. Samuel moved quickly and took her into his arms. She wept in silence for a few minutes before she could continue.

“I am now,” she informed him. “A member of the family, I mean. It—it really does make a difference. I—I think that I will teach the children—well—differently now.”

Samuel continued to hold her, running his hand up and down the small of her back. Now and then the hand lifted to pat her shoulder.

When he felt that she had finished speaking—and weeping—he leaned to kiss her hair, then her cheek. “I’m glad, my little Red,” he whispered against her ear. “I’m so glad. I—I should have realized—as the spiritual head of the home—I should have shared more about my relationship with Him. I’m so glad that Mrs. Foigt was sensitive enough to …” He let his voice trail off and kissed her again.

But Cassandra had more tears, this time of joy. “Oh, Samuel,” she said with happiness radiating from her tear-streaked face, “it couldn’t have happened at a better time. Our baby will have a mother who knows the difference. Now I can teach her the truth.”

“Him,” laughed Samuel and drew her closer.
