My fingers intertwined with hers and hers with mine and it was as if I'd never been without her for she seemed to be a part of me and I read the same thought as mine in her eyes.
My Master moved past us and walked towards the man who stood by the pillar of the house. As Jesus walked by the withered flowers regained their form and bloomed radiantly, even as the birds sang and greeted in the new day eager to see what the Lord had made.
The Master drew up before Flint and grasped his shoulders, "Blessings strong watchman of your house. These lands that have been given to you are secure. Your possessions sanctified and blessed. Your family safe and secure and your eternity with Me is assured. You are an overcomer and I thank you for being faithful to Me even at the prospect of losing all that you hold dear for even so that is how I loved you when I gave myself on the cross and turned My back on everything that I am in order to die an earthly death so that one day a man such as you could have life by My triumph over death, hell, and the grave."
The two locked together in an embrace that was broken after a moment by a small voice, "Daddy?"
Flint looked back to see his two children standing there.
"Mommy needs you!"
Flint looked back to his Savior who smiled warmly, "A new day has come and with it there shall be new life and blessings pressed down from above as children are a gift from the Lord. All will be well. Now go to her and comfort her in her time of travail."
Flint took off for the house, as the two children stared spellbound at Jesus. Smiling He leaned forward and took their hands, "Do you have a garden that we might walk in for a while?"
Taleah bubbled out, "Oh yes! Would you like to see it?"
"We have puppies too!" Brian piped in.
"I would very much like to see your puppies Brian and your garden Taleah. Shall we go?"
Both children led Him away laughing with delight.
I watched fondly as the children were led away to be occupied and blessed even as they innocently delighted in the presence of their Maker.
I turned my head to Maria to find her smiling at me.
"Zora?" I asked inquiringly.
"My real name."
"I like it. It sounds exotic and beautiful just like you."
Her smile became radiant. I so wanted to taste the lips that formed her smiles!
