She felt her strength returning, helped by George, the recovering alcoholic, the ex-wife abuser, the soul-restoring singer.
The cancer treatments had left Maureen weak and shaky. When she stood to sing with the congregation, her voice cracked and squeaked; she almost stopped singing. But then, she heard George's melodious voice resonating from the back of the church. She focused on the beautiful sound and felt herself relaxing. Her voice smoothed out and her heart responded to the wonderful words of hope that were swirling around her in musical harmony. George had no idea how his singing was affecting her.

He has given her hope. That is perhaps his atonement. A heart-warming tale.

Yet all I can think is how people think they can trust George just because he sings nice....but it is a wonderful thought! Comments are closed.
