In Search of His Spirit

"Mary McNeil," Bob said with a twinkle in his eyes as he got down on one knee. He smiled and said, "Will you marry me?"

"Oh!" she shrieked. "Yes! Yes! A thousand times yes!"

As Bob stood up and reached into his pocket for the ring, Mary jumped into his arms nearly knocking him over. Applause filled the restaurant.

Suddenly, three masked men burst through the front door of the restaurant, and three gunshots rang out. Dust fell from where the bullets had penetrated the ceiling.

"I can't give him my new engagement ring," Mary whispered tearfully.

Mary's life changed in an instant. Her happy, church-oriented life was destroyed.

"I don't want to go on living," Mary said when she awakened the next morning. "The joy has gone out of my life. How could God let this happen? God has let me down, and I'm through with Him."

Mary's mother had been keeping a shocking secret for twenty-eight years. Was now the time to tell Mary about it? Mary's happiness and even her life might depend on it.

Seemingly unrelated events and people are drawn together as God's plan is slowly and painstakingly worked out.
