Perry entered the fancy church with Mrs. Noreen by his side, saying “hi” to everyone in sight. As soon as Mia saw him, she strolled up and took his hand.

“I saved you a seat, Daddy!” She led him over to the area where Alicia sat. Alicia moved over so Mia could sit next to her, but Mia had other plans. “Daddy, sit there.” Perry sat next to Alicia and Mia took a seat next to him. She placed his arm around her shoulder. “Daddy, I’m happy you came.”

“Me too,” he whispered, squeezing her shoulder.

The choir started singing and praising God. People in the congregation lifted their hands in praise, making Perry smile. Alicia closed her eyes and sang along. Mia swayed from side to side.

After three songs, the choir stopped singing, and one of the women grabbed the microphone. “Mia and Sister Noreen, are you ready to bless us with your voices?”

Mia and Mrs. Noreen stood as the choir started swaying from side to side to the music playing in the background. Perry’s heart swelled when his little girl made her way up to the choir. She took the microphone and another member passed one over to Noreen. Mia stared at Perry as they started singing “God Will Make A Way” by Shirley Ceaser, and his baby girl raised her hand in the air, praising God, mimicking her grandmother. Tears welled up in Perry’s eyes, and he stood, staring at his princess. He bowed his head, thanking God for everything he’d blessed him with. He hadn’t forsaken him, even though Perry had been absent from him for a long time. When Alicia had left him, Perry had left his beliefs behind, too.

All the congregation stood, joining his little girl. He was so proud of Mia.

Alicia took his hands in hers and squeezed his fingers.

“That’s our princess,” he mouthed. “Thank you for giving me so much.” Perry clapped when Mia hit a high note, causing shivers all over his body. “He knows the way out of my problems and situations…he will bring me out…” He repeated the words up on the screen. He’d needed to hear this song.

Alicia smiled, gazing at Mia. She was truly a blessing in their life, even with her sassy attitude. Perry prayed that what she’d witnessed in his home would soon be forgotten. He could imagine Tiffany next to Mia, singing along.

Mia and Mrs. Noreen finished. “That’s my daughter and mother-in-law,” Perry clapped with tear-filled eyes as they made their way to their pew. He picked up his daughter and kissed her cheek. “You were great.”

Mia smiled, showing off her dimples. “Thank you, Daddy. I sang for you!” She kissed him back. He placed her down, when the pastor walked up to the alter.

“I’m so proud of you.”

The pastor opened his Bible and notepad. “Today, we will be talking about the God of second chances. Who here has ever wished they had a second chance?” He glanced around the congregation. “Let me see your hands, how many?”

Perry and Alicia both raised their hands.
