“Hadassah looked into Vashti's eyes and searched her face as though she was seeing beyond her ability to comprehend. She reached a small hand to touch Vashti's face, then placed a hand on Vashti's protruding middle. "You will have a baby soon," Hadassah said. "You are pretty and have kind eyes."
Vashti sat straighter. She took the child's hand. "And you are young to say such things."
"She has always been a bright child," Levia said.
Vashti nodded. She had no reason to detain the woman or the child, yet a part of her longed to do just that. At last common sense won out, and she cupped Hadassah's face and slowly rose. She looked at Levia. "Take good care of her. She is one who could come to great favor or great harm for her beauty."
"Thank you, Majesty. I will be extra watchful for your warning."
Vashti dismissed them, wondering what had caused her to say such a thing, yet feeling some strange sense that she had done well. She watched Levia, with Hadassah in hand, walk toward the gate, where Hadassah looked back at her and smiled. Warmth like the break of dawn after the darkness washed over Vashti, and she wondered if she had touched the face of an angel.”

“Brother ... join me in making a positive impact in this world. Every soul we touch is valuable in God’s eyes. I lost my insight some time ago when I moved to Meadows Field and left the family, but now I see that in God’s eyes, we can be the grace and blessing
for many people we encounter. As Chris Rupp once said, after we meet others, “Leave them better.�
Keep shining and working for God!”

“Victor tipped his head. “Tell me, is it blasphemy, or simply arrogance, taking credit for God’s work?”
