When Heidi opened the front door, she was taken aback, seeing a young boy and girl standing beside Loretta.

“My babysitter canceled at the last minute, and I didn’t want to miss the class, so I brought Abby and Conner along.” Loretta glanced down at the children. “I hope you don’t mind.”

Heidi shook her head, holding the door open for them. “It’s fine. I’ll find something to occupy them with while we’re having our class.” She showed Abby and Conner a basket of toys. “I keep these on hand to entertain my nieces and nephews.” Heidi turned to Loretta. “The children can either play in the living room or come to the kitchen with us and play on the floor while we cook the meal I have planned for today.”

“If you don’t think they’ll get in the way, I’d feel better if they came with me so I can keep an eye on them,” Loretta replied.

“Whatever you prefer is fine with me.”

Loretta glanced around the room. “Isn’t Eli coming today?”

“I believe so. When my husband checked for messages this morning there were none from Eli. I’m sure he would have called if he couldn’t make it.”

“Here, let me carry that to the kitchen.” Ron took the toy basket from Heidi.

After the adults were seated around the table and the children got settled on the throw rug in front of the basket, Heidi went to the refrigerator and took out the ingredients they would need.

“Today we’re making German pizza,” Heidi explained to Loretta. “Instead of a regular crust, baked in an oven, we’ll use shredded potatoes for the base and cook the meal in a skillet on top of the stove.” She handed everyone a three-by-five card with the recipe printed out. The verse she’d included on the back this time was Psalm 71:1. “In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.” Heidi hoped this scripture would be helpful to one or more of her students during the next few weeks.

“It certainly seems different than a regular pizza.” Loretta stared at her recipe card.

“It is, but I hope you’ll enjoy it.” Heidi gestured to the ingredients after placing them on the table. She also gave everyone a small skillet. “The first thing you will do is brown the ground beef with chopped onion, diced green pepper, salt, and pepper. We’ll do this two at a time, since it’ll be easier to double up at the stove. Charlene and Kendra, after you get your onion and pepper chopped then you can go first.”

While everyone got busy, Heidi watched Loretta’s children at play. Abby seemed fully engrossed in a book as she sat cross-legged on the braided throw rug, thumbing through the pages. Conner found a wooden horse and buggy belonging to Lyle when he was a child. A smile formed on Heidi’s face as she watched the young boy push the horse along, making clip-clop noises with his tongue. He was obviously familiar with the sound.
