Mail Order Rose (Mail Order Brides #1) (9 page)

Shortly after that, Rose was blessed again. Just when she thought she was so happy and in love with her husband that she thought her heart would burst, she found news that made her even happier. It turns out Emma's hunch was right after all, and Rose was indeed expecting a child. All of her dreams had come true, she would have a happy home on the farm with a husband she loved and trusted and baby of their very own to love. Rose couldn't believe how much her life had turned around.

***

Faith Katherine Thompson was born to David and Rose the next spring. Spring had always been Rose's favorite season-a time of renewal, of faith that even through the dark of winter comes the hope of new life, new beginnings. She and David thought Faith was the perfect name for their beautiful beloved baby daughter, with blue eyes and wisps of blonde hair like her father.

Faith had been the gift of a husband who saved her, helped her turn to God in hard times, rather than away from him. Faith had gotten them both through the pain of a broken heart. It was faith that their love and marriage were built upon and faith that allowed her to believe she could open her heart again, that she could find happiness. And in God, her husband and her new daughter, she had found that happiness.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. ~Ephesians 2:8
