by Ford, Linda;
Joanna took Pa’s arm and stepped into the church.
Rudy stood at the front, Freddy at his side. Rudy wore a white shirt and black jacket that he’d borrowed from Levi. He looked extremely handsome, but it was the look in his eyes that held her attention. Love—pure, simple, and enduring.
She didn’t recall walking the length of the aisle, nor could she say who sat in the pews. But she would never forget the moment her arm rested on Rudy’s, and they exchanged their vows.
Levi pronounced them man and wife.
Rudy kissed her gently, reverently, then they faced their friends and family.
“I have waited all my life for this kind of love,” Rudy whispered. “I will never stop thanking God for it.”
She smiled up at him. She would never grow weary of hearing how much he loved her. Nor would she ever stop telling him.
Both of them had found the love they wanted and needed.
To God be the glory.
Linda Ford draws on her own experiences living in the Canadian prairie and Rockies to paint wonderful adventures in romance and faith. She lives in Alberta, Canada, with her family, and she writes as much as her full-time job of taking care of a paraplegic and four kids, who are still at home, will allow. Linda says, “I thank God that He has given me a full, productive life and that I’m not bored. I thank Him for placing a little bit of the creative energy revealed in His creation into me, and I pray I might use my writing for His honor and glory.”
