Cry, my beloved people

A virtuous woman Part 90

"Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.   Favor is deceitful, and beauty is in vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.  Give her the fruits of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates." Proverbs 31: 29-31.

"This is the words of the Lord to describe a woman that is not selfish and self-centered but is kind and caring.  A hard-working woman who serves the Lord and has the best interest of their families at heart.  God will bless them and they will succeed."   Father John continued his service.

"That was an inspiring service," Linette said.

"Here comes an example of his message," Gregory answered.  "Hi Tracey, how are you doing?"

Tracey looked up and smiled at them:   "I'm glad to say that I've already helped twenty young women at Rina's Haven."

"Though it's so sad that this is happening all the time," Linette said.

"That is the sad part, there is no explanation for the cruelty and bad behavior in this world.  We can only try to get the villains off the streets, by filing their records and let them pay for their cruel behavior,"  Gregory said.

"That's true, and you're doing a great job in helping those girls.  You're a remarkable woman, don't ever forget that," Linette said.

"And you two are my safety net when my doubts arise, thank you so much for your support.  I applied for the services of a state psychiatrist for the more traumatized women, it might help them to deal with it," Tracey said.

"That's a good idea, she can help them deal with their fears and feelings.   Good luck, I know it will work out for you, you heard the service, God will bless you,"  Gregory said.

"Gregory!" Jessica cried, running into his opened arms.

"Hi Jessie, how is my little sister doing?"

"I'll show you, here is my book, I'm going to read for you," she said after kissing and hugging him.

"Hi, Jessie," Tracey said, "bye guys, see you next week." She waved as she walked away.

They walked to the ice cream shop with Jessica between them, holding their hands, while she was singing a song, she learned at school.

"That's beautiful, sit down while I get our ice cream, then you can read to me," Gregory said.

"You're an excellent student, you've read halfway through the book and you've learned a beautiful song, I'm so proud of you." He said, giving her a hug as he winked at Linette.

"Yea, she's good, I wish I can learn that quick," Linette said, smiling at Gregory.

"My teacher said I'm learning quickly and she's proud of me too." Jessica smiled.

"See, what did I tell you, keep up the good work." Linette pressed her hand.

"I love you!" Jessica said and hugged Linette as Nanna arrived, she hugged Gregory too. "Don't stay away too long, we miss you and I love you."

"I promise, and I love you too.  Be good and remember I'm so proud of you." He said, hugging her.

"I'm going to miss you too. Thank you for a wonderful weekend, Gregory." Linette said, hugging him sideways on their way to the bus stop.

"When I'm with you, my days are always wonderful, I'll visit again as soon as I can.  Don't forget I love you,"  he said as he took her in his arms and kissed her tenderly, inhaling her sweet scent.

"Remember I love you more."  She cried before he got on the bus and they waved each other goodbye.
