96 ~ In The Middle Again

By Kay Heitsch

The family member saying everyone would hate me after this trial was wrong!

Now I found myself in the middle again when the police arrived at the house. The police officer informed me that both parties told him they trusted me, so he needed me to come over to the house and watch while Mom retrieved her personal belongings.

Are you kidding me! I did not want to do it, but the police insisted.

When I walked over to the house, Mom was already there with her dad and mom. I sat down on a chair while Mom got whatever she needed.

No one said anything until it was over, then they wanted a list of the things that were taken. I did the best I could remember.

A few weeks later, Mom called and said she had some friends who needed a nanny, and she had suggested me. She also wanted to know if Brandon would be able to drive over and pick the little girl up from daycare and take her home. On both of these requests, I declined.

Dad continued calling, and I finally told him to stop. I was exhausted by this whole experience!

I was busy working, but I did see all of them on occasion. They would always give me a hug, as if nothing had ever happened. I liked that!

Years went by, and I was out shoveling with Little RED. Dad walked over with a gift bag from Israel. He told me he had been working there.

He explained that he had taken the tour of the stops of Jesus because of me. He said his co-workers couldn't believe he wanted to do it since he wasn't a Christian. In the gift bag was a nativity scene he had purchased in Israel.

I was also told that the little girl was going to a Catholic school instead of a public one.

God works in mysterious ways.

Remember how I led you on this long journey. Deuteronomy 8:2
