Do not think I didn’t follow your progress, though. The reason I write you now, after all these years, is because I realize the Lord may choose to take either one of us home soon, and I need to tell you how I truly feel.
I am impressed with what you have done, Jake. I know about the orphanage. I know about the many children who have been sheltered in it. I am glad our ranch could be used for such a purpose. I also know the orphanage is not the only good you have done with your world.
I rejoice in the knowledge that it was all for God’s glory. I hope you do fully appreciate your blessings. You’ve been given a loving wife, eight wonderful children, and a rich life full of memories to warm the soul. You were given a second chance, Jake, and what a second chance it was.
Sincerely,
Sarah Logan
As I folded the letter and replaced it in the envelope, I considered her words. I looked to my beautiful Jessica, sitting in the rocking chair next to mine. The sunlight still made her hair glow in the afternoon sun, though its golden sheen had long since turned white.
I thought of our children as I held her hand and looked out across the rolling green hills of our ranch where we’d built our home and made our life together. I squeezed her hand, leaned over, and kissed her lightly on the cheek. Jessica smiled back at me.
Sarah Logan was right. I’d been given a second chance, and what a second chance it had been!
