Deciding to get off the dusty road, Timmy turned and headed across a field that had yet to be planted. It would be sowed in cotton soon and that meant cotton picking, even though he was only 5, he had already aquired scars on his fingers from picking cotton. He didn't complain though, cause it helped pay for the medicine that his momma needed. He knew that if she was well she would not stand for the way that he was treated. He loved his momma. Up ahead, Timmy noticed a grove of trees, he could sit down for a bit and rest. As he settled back against a mighty oak and closed his eyes, a sound filled his ears and warmed his heart...it was singing again, but not the same as before, yes he heard the word Jesus, but this was the most glorious singing he had ever heard...it must be angels! Raising up, Timmy turned his head in the direction that the sound was coming from, it was just over that hill. Rising, he took off running, as he reached the top of the hill he saw a small old building, no fancy windows, no glass windows at all that he could see, but board shutters that hung open, allowing the music to fill the air...he decided this time that he must be careful, so rather than walk into the building, this time he approached from the back and quietly sat down under the open shutter and listened to the wonderful singing. He and his furry friends...a radiant smile covered Timmys face and for the first time in a long time he felt truly happy! The tears that streamed down his little pudgy dirt streaked face, were tears of joy!
