Beneath The Montana Skies

Sitting outside on their porch swing was both Sunny and Mav's favorite spot in the evening. Their dog, Molly, usually sat nearby. They spent many hours gazing into the beautiful Montana skies as the sun tipped over the tree line, and the moon made its appearance. Sunny often dominated the conversation at first, pointing out the latest blooms that had burst forth with vivid colors. As the moon appeared, Mav took over the conversation, talking about the needs of the ranch and what the work hands had accomplished that day. It was the best of times, or so they thought. Until Sunny began having unexplained headaches. When she was diagnosed with a terminal illness, they came to this very spot to cry out to God. She never lost hope in the promise of God's healing, letting her faith carry her through some tough times. For Mav, it wasn't so easy. As he carried the financial burden of her medical needs, he found it hard to have faith that measured up to his wife's. His grandmother had often spoke about faith. She actually used a mustard seed to explain to him that it didn't take much to carry you through your trial. When he found a way to collect the money, he also found a friend, one that would forever have a home on their ranch. Throughout the journey, Sunny faced life and death circumstances, never giving up. As Faith came along in their lives, Mav, at times, believed she was an angel sent by God to build up his faith. As you read Beneath the Montana Skies, decide for yourself. Is she truly a figment of their imagination, or is she a true living being? After all, there are angels among us every day!
