87 THOMAS WILL NAME HIS SON SETH

Looking at Laura, Thomas responds, "Yes Laura!"

"Brother-in-law, there is no need to worry about Chris, she is okay, she loves soup and she had her fill earlier, and when the baby went to sleep, she went and take a lie down, so she should be good."

Recalling how she was yawning, but realizing that Laura had suspected his concern, "I am sorry, but I was thinking about tomorrow's event, by the way, have you all thought about a name as yet?"

Seeing his dad smile, "Okay, but just know you only have tonight to think about one, because by tomorrow we have to give him a name because his name has to be on his baptismal certificate. And Laura before you turn in, Aliza has a bag for you."

While they were being served their desert Thomas excuse himself, bidding them all a good night, saying, "He was tired and was going to bed."

Also, saying to Laura, "You enjoy your dessert, and I will get Mrs. Marva to fix her a tray."

Thomas was just about to enter the kitchen when Mrs. Marva hurried down the stairs, following after him, "Sir, did you need something?"

"I was going to get Christa a tray?"

"There is no need for that, I just take a tray up to her, but she and the baby were still resting, Sir, I can't still believe all she went through during this pregnancy: she is so strong and he is the sweetest. When he hears my voice he keeps turning his head."

"That he is Mrs. Marva and thank you for helping her, then I will see you in the morning, and Mrs. Marva, is everything in order for tomorrow?"

"Yes Sir, I have gotten three helpers to come in to assist me for the day, and the Mistress did some preparation today already."

"Preparation? what sort of preparations?"

"Sir, she did some baking of cakes, and custards, she said at least she will have some goodies to enjoy."

"Thank you, and good night."

Entering the room hearing her speaking, thinking she was aware of him in the room. Only to realize she was dreaming just like that first night talking in her dream.

Quietly, Thomas just remove his jersey and pants lying with his boxers on the bed. Taking her in his arm hearing her laugh, then she said, "It is just perfect Errol, I love it."

Wondering, 'What she was dreaming about, knowing she doesn't recall what she dreams.' Whispering to her, "Honey, what is perfect?"

Hearing her saying as she laugh once more, "Errol said, his name should be Seth,"

"Seth!"

"Yes, it means placed or appointed."

Closing his eyes satisfied that he will give him the name his mother has chosen. Whispering his thanks to Almighty God for sending his wife and for choosing his son's name."

Thomas thought, 'The way she was happy in her dream speaking with Errol, if when she met up with the others how they communicate?

My family always seems to have reservations and most of the time they have disagreements.

When the baby is a few months and becomes stronger I will like to visit and see for myself, that way I might understand her better?'

With that in his mind, he closes his eyes "Asking the Lord to bless tomorrow, will be a special blessing for his family and visitors. And Lord, let Your blessing flow over his life.

You had kept him to be a blessing to this family, so when we present him to You Sunday for his dedication, I am asking that Your anointing cover him.'

When his alarm wakes him, Thomas stretches his hand and switches it off, wanting just one hour more rest. Christa watches him close his eyes once more, knowing he was tired.

Seeing how quiet he was, realizing he had fallen asleep once again. Christa had only come out of the washroom hearing him speak.

Listening to hear what he was saying, but as she gets closer to him she realized he was still asleep.

"No my love I must thank you, from that night you slept in my room, you made me want you so much, that I could not think about anything or anyone.

I wanted to take you in my arms the moment I saw you in that dress, you look like the perfect bride.

When I knew you love Paul and hated me, my heart grieved so often, but I keep believing that I could change your mind."

Smiling Christa's dress after taking her bath hoping he will wake up but he didn't. Taking baby Thomas with her downstairs leaving him to rest.

Seeing her Papa relaxing as he drink his coffee, Christa place the baby in his arms and hurried to get his breakfast.

In the kitchen there was so much preparation taking place, she just fix some sandwiches on a platter and rests them on the tray.

Together with a tea mug of hot water, milk, and sugar four teacups, and spoons, she places a small bowl with a few teabags.

Taking it to the breakfast table then went for the baby. Seeing her dad walking him out on the front porch as the morning sun was shining. "Papa, I fix some sandwiches come and have your breakfast."

"Christa honey, I wanted to let you know, the last time you give me an envelope, my child you are truly a blessing to me."

"Papa, you know I want you to get someone to help you on the farm, I am not home to help you."

"Honey, your younger brother is just as passionate as you for the farm. I know Errol didn't write letting you know what he used the money for?

My child, he, invested that money and build a chicken pen and bought a hundred heads of chicks.

Honey, that was one of the best investments our family has ever invested in. I know it was your dream to do that and it is flourishing."
