@gracie-j. @elishavet-pidyon. @koshka. @ava-blue. @queen_of_alvastia. @godlyfantasy12. @lydia-s. @joy-caroline. Alright y’all! I just HAD to share this snippet from my Thanksgiving story I’m writing. I laughed so much towards the end of this. XD
The front door opened. Voices.
âUNCLE LEON!â
Iris laughed. âWellâŠat least we know whoâs here.â
Riker smirked. Washed and dried his hands.
Lily had taken to calling Leon âUncle Leonâ for some reason. Not that Leon seemed to mind.
Riker stepped out into the front hallway. Louisa walked past him. âHello Riker.â
âGood afternoon, Louisa.â He replied with a smile.
He heard her begin to converse and ask the other women how she could help.
Riker walked over to where Abelard was talking to William and Leon was holding Lily, talking to her.
He saw Riker and waved with his one free hand. âHey Riker.â
âHey Leon. Sorry about that. She really likes to call you that.â
Leon chuckled. âI donât mind. Iâm an Uncle now.â He winked.
Lily noticed Riker. âDaddy!â
âHello there, Pumpkin. Telling Leon about all your adventures?â
Riker took Lily into his arms.
âTurkeys!â
What?
Riker raised an eyebrow. ââŠWhat?â
William laughed. âThe kids are making Thanksgiving turkeys. Writing down what theyâre thankful for on paper feathers and then attaching them to a paper turkey. Esther came up with the idea a few days ago. Thought itâd be fun for the kids. Jonathanâs helping them out right now.â
Riker nodded. âSoâŠmaking Turkeys?â
Lily nodded eagerly. âUh huh! Elias, come make Turkeys with me!â
âYay! I wanna make Turkeys!â Elias cried.
Riker set Lily down.
She took Eliasâ hand.
âI wanna make Turkeys too!â Albert cried.
They ran off. Isabel slowly followed them. âIâm gonna make one too.â
âHave fun.â Leon called after them.
Came forward.
Riker clapped his friend on the back. âHow are you doing Leon?â
âGood, actually. Better than a few months ago. It was September, you know?â
Riker nodded.
âYeah, I understand. Canât be easy.â
âNever is. But God pulls me through it. Did Angelina ever contact you back?â
Riker grinned. âShe sure did. Weâre set. We can stay at her house, or sheâll arrange a hotel. Why, excited?â
Leon grinned. âPerfect. And yes, of course Iâm excited. Canât believe weâre going to go backâŠto bring the Gospel.â
âI canât either.â Riker agreed.
Back to Germany in a year.
To bring the Gospel to the hurting.
ItâŠwas time.
To face the past, share the Gospel, and return to where it all began.
Leon and Riker walked back towards the kitchen.
From where she was sitting down, Esther waved. âHello Leon. Welcome in.â
Louisa was already hard at work and conversing with Elizabeth.
âHey Esther. How are you feeling?â
Esther smiled faintly. âFine, but tired. They told me to rest.â
Leon smiled. âProbably for the best.â
âHey Daddy, whereâs my purse?â Isabel asked, coming around the corner, Naja beside her.
âI think we may have left it in the car. You wanna go get it?â
âCan I?â
âSure, CupcakeâŠâ
âDaddyâŠâ Isabel sighed, taking the keys.
Leon chuckled. âSorry. Forgot you donât like being called that all the time anymore, especially in front of your friends.â He winked. âRiker, she thinks Iâm embarrassing.â
Riker laughed. Smiled at Isabel. âOh, heâs embarrassing alright. Iâve been friends with him for five years now. Heâs horrible.â
Isabel laughed.
Leon dug his elbow into Rikerâs side.
Isabel rushed off, Naja beside her as they talked.
Riker turned to Leon. Laughed. âWhat?â
âTraitor.â
âYou two are just like brothers.â Iris mused, smiling.
They both turned to face her.
Riker smirked. âWhat are you talking about?â
âSure. Heâs the annoying older one.â Leon said, pointing at Riker.
âAnd youâre the embarrassing younger one.â Riker shot back.
Iris laughed and began talking with Ellie again.
Leon turned to Riker.
Winked and stuck out his tongue.
Riker laughed and nudged his friend in the shoulder. âYouâre a child.â
For info, September is the month that Aadelheide died. 7 years ago by this point. *sobs* Poor Leon. *sobs forever*
September 2, 2022 at 9:42 am #116632@freedomwriter76 Oh! I am loving Riker and Leon as “brothers” XDXD And them going back to Germany together…. *sob* I LOVE IT!! And Lily…AAAAWWWW!!!
*joins you in sobbing forever over Leon*

September 2, 2022 at 5:03 pm #116680@freedomwriter76 HAHA I love that bit at the end
It’s so fun to read/write banter between close friends. Riker’s kids making turkeys was the most adorable thing ever. I have this mental image of a bunch of little kids around a table, covered in glue and glitter đ Now I wish it was fall even more đ

@ava-blue. Aww girl, thank you! đđđ
IT IS! đ And yes, so cute! I’m glad you thought it was cute! đ Haha, that is a very funny picture. đ Oh, girl, me too. đ I LOVE Fall. đ
September 2, 2022 at 7:36 pm #116697@freedomwriter76
It’s adorable! Thanks for sharing.
Now I remember I never shared any of our Thanksgiving stories… Which get interesting, considering that every other year they include 22 people in a three bedroom, single bathroom, no dining room house.
Yeah, the adults encourage the kids to go play outside. Which we’re happy to do, since our grandparents live on an old farm, and there are two pastures beside the backyard and the chicken yard (nobody cares to play in there).
But really, reading this made me think about all the times we’ve had together. And it makes me soooo excited that we get to go see them all again soon!!!
(Okay, Thanksgiving is in November, but that’s not soooo far away.)
And as was said… GLITTER TURKEYS! O.O (He he. Can you imagine what Leon’s car would look like if there was glitter on the turkeys?)
You have listened to fears, child. Come, let me breathe on you... Are you brave again? -Aslan

@elishavet-pidyon. Thank you! Of course! I always love sharing! (hopefully I’ll be able to share the whole thing. *wink wink*)
That sounds like some crazy but fun times! đđđ
YESSS!!! GLITTER TURKEYS!!!! O.O (haha, I can well imagine. đđđ So will Riker’s car…and Erich’s car…and EVERYONE’S CARS!!!! đđđđ Except for Esther and William’s, since Thanksgiving is at their house. đ)
Oh, but they will go outside. đ (the guys (and some of the kids who just jump in) are gonna go out and play Football. đ That is going to be so much fun. Poor Riker tho. The first one to get tackled cause he has no CLUE what he’s doing. đ€Ł)

@elishavet-pidyon. @koshka. @lydia-s. @queen_of_alvastia. @gracie-j. More Riker. XD MY POOR BABY! *sobs* Anywho, I was listening to the song Somewhere in Your Silent Night by Casting Crowns when writing this. (I recommend listening to it! It’s EPIC!)
Rikerâs boots sank deeper into the snow with each step.
The wind wafted up, threw snow in his face.
Riker kept his hands deep in his trouser pockets.
A sound rose to his ears.
Singing.
Voices.
Some high.
Some low.
Some grown.
Some young.
Carols.
Christmas Hymns.
Family.
Love.
Faith.
Riker rubbed his sleeve against his nose and eyes.
Heâd brought Leon and the other men food.
They deserved to celebrate Christmas.
âBut you donât.â
No. He didnât.
Riker angrily swiped away the tears and snow on his face.
It wasnât time to cry.
His family would be homeâŠtalkingâŠsingingâŠopening presents.
Iris would be helping Angelina pick up while the kids played with their new gifts.
But Riker wouldnât be there.
Aadelheide.
Fin.
Now Jennie.
They were deadâŠand all because Riker had failed.
âHeaven wants nothing to do with you, Murderer of the Innocents. You killed Leonâs wife. Sheâs in Heaven, Jennie is in Heaven, but you wonât see them there. You will never be welcome into Godâs presence. Here or on the other side.â
Why was he crying!?
Riker swiped at the fresh tears.
More songs reached his ears.
Singing as oneâŠeven if it wasnât perfectâŠit was beautiful.
Those innocent men he had given food to never did anything wrong.
The people heâd killed did nothing wrong to deserve death.
When Riker had doneâŠeverything to deserve death.
He deserved nothing less than Hell itself.
Memories floated before his eyes.
Christmas morning.
They didnât have muchâŠbut Jennie did everything she could.
Angelinaâs smiles and squeals.
Jennieâs smile. Her hug. Her soft, daily reminder of I love you.
Riker swiped at more tears.
âWipe those stupid tears away. I didnât ask for a crybaby. Youâre a man. Start acting like one.â
His fatherâs reminder.
Riker had no reason to cry.
He didnât deserve Christmas.
He was too far.
Too gone.
âThere is no distance God wonât go to reach youâŠâ Fin smiled. âRiker, his son died for you. He wouldnât die for a mistake. You are not too far. You are not too lost for God to save.â
He was.
Nothing but a mistake.
Itâs what everyone told him.
Itâs who he was.
What he was destined to be.
ââŠGod sees things differently. Maybe you think God should have left you by now. But God doesnât see you the same way you do. God loves you. Even with all your mistakes.â
Why did he have to be reminded of the woman, the wife, the mother, heâd killed?
He deserved to be haunted by it.
But he didnât deserve to hear, see, or get anyoneâs concern.
Compassion wasnât meant for murderers.
His family would be better off once he was gone.
Riker slid down the trunk of a tree.
Sat down in the snow.
He didnât care if it was cold.
Maybe it could just numb the pain.
Maybe it could distract him from the guilt.
âWhy did you have to take Jennie? Fin? Even Aadelheide? They were innocent. They believed in you. Trusted in youâŠand cared about meâŠeven though I never deserved it. They didnât have to die. I should have been the one to die. They didnât have to go.â Riker looked up at the cloudy sky.
Snowflakes landed on his cheeks, mixing with his tears.
âThey loved you. They were faithful followers of you. They did nothing to deserve death. When IâŠI have. Yet I havenât diedâŠâ Rikerâs fists clenched and unclenched.
âThink anyone would ever want you, boy!? Youâre a mistake and thatâs all youâll ever be!â
ââŠWhy not me?â
Silence met his plea. His question. His tears.
âWhy didnât you take me!? They didnât have to die! Take me instead!â Riker screamed.
He deserved it.
He deserved to die.
He deserved Hell.
âBut they didnât! Iâm nothing but a mistake! There is no wayâŠno reasonâŠfor you to have died for someone like me. Iâm a murderer! Take me instead!â
Rikerâs body trembled.
âThereâs a special place in Hell for you, RikerâŠright beside the Devil himself.â
Heâd done so much.
Laughter reached his ears.
Riker pulled his knees up to his chest.
His long, wavy brown locks of hair fell over his eyes.
Jonathan.
Naja.
Eli.
Iris.
Angelina.
Every last one of them would be better off without him around.
He was a murderer.
They deserved someone that wasnât a mistake.
ThenâŠwhy did it hurt so much?
Riker laid his arms on his knees.
Murderer.
Mistake.
Everyone would be better off once he was in Hell.
Riker buried his face in his knees and arms.
And wept.
September 3, 2022 at 6:49 pm #116744@freedomwriter76
My heart is officially broken. đȘđȘđđđ
RIKER!!! YOU’RE NOT A MISTAKE!!! GOD STILL HAS A PLAN FOR YOUUUU *voice trails off into uncontrollable weeping*
