the unopened gift page 4 by ric gustafson.
Monica walked into the church and down a hallway not knowing where she was going. She asked people as she saw them if they knew her husband. She walked into the large circuliar sanctuary frustrated because she could not find Jeffrey anywhere. She sat down in a pew and noticed that the choir was about to start their song practice.
They started singing and tears began to form in her eyes. She began to remember what influenced her to sing in the first place. As a youth, she sang with her parents in church choir.
She took a tissue from her purse and began to blow her nose. She got up to leave knowing that the cab was waiting for her. Just as she reached the sanctuary door, Jeffrey opened it.
" Jeffrey, I tried to find you to get my day planner" she tearfully said as she hugged her startled husband. " I was listening to the choir and was moved by it".
" What are you saying?".
" When I get back from my tour" she replied as she pecked him on the cheek. " Let's talk about doing some volunteer things at church".
" Monica, will you open the unopened gift?".
" Yes, Jeffrey I will".
The End
Everyone take care. Love Ric.
