Below the vault of the small chapel’s roof Brad watched a singer in the band step back from the microphone because her daughter approached. They stood calmly embracing and bracing each other through two songs of praise and thanksgiving to the Lord and a prophetic word. It was getting late, but the service was nearly finished.
That night the chapel held about twenty people including those leading the worship. There’s not much to this tale because all that happened, as if that weren’t enough, was mother and daughter both about the same height but decades different in age rested their hearts in support of each other.
Brad wanted the same love in his own family that those two shared.

“…rested their hearts against each other” says it all, Frank.

What a great gift to each other. The ” rested their hearts against each other.”
The unity of a mother and daughter in the love of our Master Jesus is stunning.
Thanks for the encouragement.

I was envisioning the structure of the chapel roof (I love that architecture) and then realized there’s a lot of architecture in this piece, the supports and structures. It’s enough of a tale, ask Brad; it holds up.

Very nicely done. Characters who are interesting, at first by circumstance and then their roles in the ‘action’.
Quite enjoyable.

It is always so nice to see such a wholesome family moment. Unfortunately Henrietta and Merna have a horrible stage presence but they are a good example of family music.
