Wheeling Gull Isle Bring them home

Emotion had taken the boys quickly, one had wilted, the other preaching the Gospel with such authority for a young man. Before Malakai can make his leave, John leave him specifically with parting words of faith: “But do not forget that The Son of God had taken the sins of the earth and payed for our heavenly freedom. If she truly returns to God, I know in my heart that He will forgive, so long as it is true in her heart. But leaving you was no sin, it was a mistake. A mistake made by a mother, a wife with a broken heart.” 

Once he had finished his spiel, he watched as Malakai strode away through the brush and out of site. All that remained was Judah, who looked near his breaking point as he screamed to the Heavens above. Then, he dashed away as fast as his three legs would take him. John couldn’t feel anything but heartache for the Redhawk children. God had not abandoned them, but in his mind, perhaps it was the other way around. He would not speak this opinion though. 

And in the end, John was left here. It was his hope that Judah would come to a decision, and he could return home. But he would have to remain patient and trusting in God’s plan for them.
