The Shack (my version)

Chapter 3

We got back inside and surprisingly there was a big piano in the living room. I went over to it and glided my fingers across the keys. Remembering all the memories my family and I had with this piano. "Well, play something." Papa said. I sat down on the bench and played a love song I thought I could never play. I was trying to learn it before but, I was never able. For some reason I was able to. The song was Clouds by Before You Exit. I loved that song when I was younger. I kept playing and I didn't notice I was crying until a tear from my eye dropped and on the keys. This song made me so emotional. I didn't understand what the song meant until now. Papa came over and started playing the song with me. I had mixed emotions when Papa came and played with me but, mostly I was happy. I was now crying happy tears instead of sad tears. While we were still playing Grace and Logos looked at each other and smiled. After we were done Papa hugged me. While Papa was hugging me she said something in my ear. She said "You never know how much I love you, my daughter." I was lost for words. I didn't know what to say but, Papa knew what I wanted to say and she hugged me again. "Thank you." I said. "You don't have to thank me I would do anything for you." Papa said. I saw Grace and Logos they were in tears and I went over to hug them. Papa came over as well. We had a group hug. I was so humbled. "What are we having for dinner?" I asked. "You'll see." Papa said starting to fix dinner. "Now go upstairs and get into something comfortable." Papa said. "Okay." I said going upstairs into the room I was staying in. I came back downstairs and lunch was made. I saw unleavened bread, fruit, milk and honey. I sat down and said the prayer this time. "Do you know what we are eating?" Grace asked. "What Jesus ate for lunch." I said. Grace nodded her head. After we ate Logos told me to go over to the couch and sit down and relax. He came back with a big bowl with water in it, wash cloth, and another bowl with grapes in it. He told me to take me shoes and socks off. After I took them off I looked at my feet and they were surprisingly dirty. Logos put my feet in the bowl of water and gave me the bowl of grapes. "Logos what are you doing?" I asked. "Washing your feet, Faith." He said. "I remember that in the bible where he washed his disciples feet and another time he washed a woman's feet. But, why me? I don't deserve this." I said. "Yes, you do Faith." He said. "In the time your sister died you never lost faith." He said. "Is that why my mother named me Faith?" I asked. "Well,  yes but, before you were born your mother had 3  miscarriages and the doctors told her that she would never be able to have a child but, she defied the odds. You were her little miracle and that is why she named you Faith." He said. "Wow. I never knew. And then she had Annie." I said. "Yes." He said. "Now since I washed your feet you need to do the same." He said. "Okay." I said.  After a while I fell asleep on the couch and the next day I ended up in the bed. I got out of bed and asked what happened last night. "I carried you." Logos said with a smile on his face and he came over and hugged me.
