Marco - 16. Chapter 16

Summers, the house was full again, Efraim’s nephews and Karl Marco stayed with us. We did buy two horses, and Efraim fixed the buggy. Sunday afternoon, we would take the boys to the park. I was wondering how long before Efraim would want to adopt. Pastor Burry answered that question for us. He brought a young lad to us one evening. He was 14 years old, told his parents he was gay. His father tossed him out of the house. One of his ranch hands picked up the boy and brought him to Pastor Burry.

When Pastor brought him to us, the boy was crying. He looked at us. Efraim had him in a hug before I could say yes. I knew there was no way this young man was going to the streets. I could see the tears in Efraim’s eyes as he remembered how it was when he was on the streets in London.

 

Chris was the first. Over the years, our family grew as Pastor Burry brought boys to our home. The boys he didn’t bring, Efraim made it his mission, and there would be no street boys in our town.

 

The third time was a charm for me. Ten years have passed since Ephraim knocked on my door. Who said all good things come to those who wait. What they didn’t say, I would have to wait until he came from across the sea.

Now that is doing something awesome with you lives.This is a rare story on GA in another sense in so many stories the Pastor is an evil fraud and that's proper there are a lot of them and they should be exposed but we we tend to forget the majority of them are not like that.You may disagree with a position a pastor take but if it come a place of good faith that you can live with that lucky for Marco and Ephriam this was a good pastor. Excellent story

Thank you Cal for yet another great story that has a good happy ending.

A far as a sequel is concerned, well Marco and Ephraim are on 5 acres so there's room to expand, and it would have to include another house so the 1815 one is kept in its' original condition. Plus with Ephraim's sister, husband and two boys at least one more bathroom is a necessity. Perhaps Chris becomes a 'house father' in the new home?

Hope you're staying well, especially with more Covid cases popping up everywhere. Hope your 'situation' has allowed you either a 3rd Pfizer 'booster' or perhaps their new 'All in One' Flu+Booster.

Take Care and Stay Safe. We need you around, for your knowledge, history, empathy and great stories!

Thanks, I agree. There are good and bad in all professions. It's the hypocrisy in those of the religious faith, that is most repugnant

Awww Shucks, :blushing: Lately I have been writing short stories. I have one more story that I am editing that is more than 16 chapters.  I have two short stories I am in the process of writing now. A couple ideas rambling around in my head, not sure if they will ever materialize.

Yes, I will have the opportunity for the third shot. My normal flu shot isn't due until Feb. I believe the facility where I am is scheduling the third shot in October. I hope you are staying well and safe. Thanks for being a friend
