Pray without ceasing. (5:17)
Javier and Carmen sat in the living room, each with a child on their lap.
Sensing something was amiss, Isabel asked, "What's wrong, Mommy?"
Carmen bit her lip and looked to Javi for an explanation for the children. Javier took a deep breath and calmly explained to the duo, in terms that they would understand, the situation with Mr. Tyson and the ultimatum that he'd given to their father.
Then he said softly, "Your mama and I would like you to pray with us about it before you both go off to bed.
Isabel and Marcos nodded solemnly and the four of them bowed their heads. One by one, all four of them led in prayer, and then Carmen took the two to bed.
When she reentered the living room, Javier was on his knees, having resumed praying. With an inaudible sigh, Carmen slid to her knees beside him and took his hand, bowing her head once again. They passed the long night earnestly pleading with their God.
The sixth chapter of an eleven-chapter endeavor centered around eleven verses in 1 Thessalonians. Reviews make my day; thanks!:)
