Jessica Nelson - Love on the Range

“God’s helped me forgive.”

“You’re a Christian, then?” The heaviness in Gracie’s chest lifted a little. “Trevor said churches here don’t accept you.”

“Some churches, unfortunately, are very prejudiced, but I do meet with a few Christian neighbors every other Sunday for our own version of a church service. There’s no local church close by so we do our best.”

“But you don’t pray at meals.”

Mary sighed. “Not out loud, no.”

They walked upstairs, and Gracie felt her depression dissipating. Church! She bounced after Mary into the bedroom, forcing thoughts of Trevor and the life he’d endured to the back of her heart.

Mary wiped the window and Gracie wrinkled her nose at the stench of vinegar.

“I’d love to meet some of the neighbors.”

“You can come.” Mary smiled gently. “But please, leave me be so I can finish cleaning.”

“I’ll help.”

“Absolutely not. This is my job. Maybe you need a rest?”

“I suppose.” Gracie shrugged and left the bedroom. Despite the excitement tumbling through her at the prospect of attending church, thoughts of Trevor would not leave. Perhaps she had been hasty in her judgments of the people here. Perhaps she was not as modern, not as accepting, as she’d once thought.
