Grace looked at her daughter playing on the ground, "Hope, be careful."1
The little three year old had a grin on her face as she ran around in the yard, Mark came out jumped of the deck and chased Hope around the yard, and she screamed with joy. Grace called "Your teaching are my daughter to act like a huligan."2
Mark caught Hope and carried her up the steps, "Your daughter? I thought she was Our daughter."3
"Not when you act like that"4
Mark made a pouty face, and Hope cried out while clapping "Me and Dada want food." Mark made a slight grin then and went back to pouty.5
Grace put her hands on her hips and looked at Mark immediately, then took a bucket of water, that had been used to wash the deck, reached down and pulled out a wet wash cloth. Mark turned and ran, as Grace threw the wet wash cloth at him, Hope screamed with glee, and Grace laughed, she would see Marry and Hope on Sunday and Mrs. Brown, she had a good Christian family, and she was truely content with Jesus in her life. 6
