A meddlesome florist, a man determined to obey the Word, and a nurse who needs gentle nurturing.

…make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we commanded you.  ~ I Thessalonians 4:11

That’s all Reid wanted to do–just serve the Lord for a year before concerning himself with anything else.  Yeah, the idea came from an odd “prophecy” one of the watchmen of Fairbury’s new Prayer Room spoke over him.  Sure, he didn’t know if such “prophecies” were even Biblical–arguments on that score abounded.  But since the words she spoke were pure Scripture, and since yielding to them couldn’t be wrong, he thought, “Why not?”

Was it always easy?  No.  People made judgments about him that weren’t accurate.  Shy?  Nope. Stuck up?  Not hardly. Committed to a celibate life?

Good news, girls–just for the year.

But when the local florist hears Reid’s story and sees a few things that give him a glimpse into the man’s heart, he decides on a little premeditated serendipity to move things along, unaware of the serious havoc he’s about to wreak.

Premeditated Serendipity

Take a few Bible verses, stir in a little godly interference, give a pinch of meddling, and mix well. Bake in the oven of misunderstanding until true feelings rise and come out clean.
