      “When did you notice this damage?” Adam asked.

      “What damage? What are you talking about?”

      Grasping Sara’s shoulders, he turned her in place, still keeping them within the shelter of the broad trunk. “This. See the hole?”

      “We have worse things to worry about than a wormhole in a sycamore, Adam.”

      He was shaking his head and glancing from side to side as if searching for someone or something. Finally, he said, “This is no wormhole, Sara. The damage is fresh. And judging by the wood that’s been displaced, the hole was probably made by a rifle bullet.”

      “Why would anybody go deer hunting in town?”

      When he placed both hands on the tree, trapping her, covering her, she began to feel surrounded even though he was only one man.

      Adam raised his clear visor and leaned in to bring his lips closer to her ear.

      Sara was so nervous, so unhinged by his nearness she almost missed hearing him say, “They weren’t shooting at whitetails, Sara. They were shooting at you.”

      Dear Reader,

      Not all friends make good mates. Not all mates make good friends. The person who can find both qualities in one person is truly blessed.

      In this story, Sara was assuming unkind thoughts in the minds of others and she was often wrong, yet she based her reactions on those perceptions because she blamed herself for a tragedy. That’s easy to do when we experience the loss of someone we love. I believe one secret to reclaiming joy is in giving thanks for what we once had, even though it’s now lost, and embracing the future as the gift it truly is.

      There are plenty of trials in daily life that we can’t cope with on our own. There is nothing God can’t handle once we decide to let go and trust Him.

      Blessings,

       Valerie Hansen

      A man’s heart deviseth his way; but the Lord directeth his steps.

      —Proverbs 16:9

      Words cannot fully express my admiration for the amazing people who daily risk their lives to save and protect the rest of us. God has blessed them with a heart for service, a keen mind and the courage of David facing Goliath.
