Chapter 28

Christmas morning arrived and Lark woke early. He left his home and headed to church. He found peace and calm in the Christmas carols and the fellow worshippers on the morning of Christmas. He always enjoyed going to church and often remained behind after the service finding solace in simply being quiet and praying after everyone had left.

Today was no exception. The minister saw Lark sitting on his own after the service and approached him.

“Merry Christmas,” the minister smiled.

Lark stood. “Merry Christmas to you too, father,” Lark replied.

“Are you alone?” The father asked.

“I am yes,” Lark replied.

“Well the Lord is with you. Especially today. Go in peace,” the father said as he turned and headed back to the pulpit.
