#692 A Sunday Kind of Love- Maxine Clair
Thomas is head of deacons at his Parish. His wife died two years ago and he is now with a much younger woman, Wanda. Even though church is very important to him, he has never taken her to a service until now.
He sits up front with the deacon and she in a rear pew. He spends the time sitting coldly still trying to avoid the judgmental eyes of his fellow church goers. He knows what they think, but he still feels right about being with Wanda.
“What really bothers him is this sense of everything and nothing to be said—no words for the kind of thing his mind can’t quite grasp, can’t quite let go of, either.”
After the service, the elders (the men, of course) gather for an important church meeting. Wanda sticks around. It turns out that this meeting is about Thomas and Wanda. Their love (or at least one elicit act of it) has been rumored and disturbed the congregation. But love is eternal and will not be denied, especially under the watchful eyes of God.
