Dark Clouds & Silver Linings

Joe and Mandy were destined to be married eventually. So, when they discovered that a errors of judgement really do have consequences, they thought the solution would be easy. They would get married immediately and live happily ever after. After all this was just a speed bump along the road to the life they had always dreamed of. Unfortunately, it was more like a roadblock that would cost them everything that was familiar and exile them to an unknown and uncertain future far from home, friends and family.
At first Joe and Mandy thought that love was enough, particularly when Michelle joined their little family. They discovered, too late, that dark forces were at work. These were forces that would split families, damage lives and cause untold damage for many years until the little family found forgiveness and the will to forgive each other and others as well.
Michelle was the first to discover that real love, the love that Jesus showed, was the only way to joy, peace and, best of all, forgiveness. Then she found that it was even better if that love and forgiveness was shared with others. As the dark clouds began to fade and the silver linings spread light into the darkness that was her life, Michelle discovered a new world full of happy surprises.
