The One

Chapter 1.. The LOVE Story





As the sun rises at 5:30 am, Jen is woken by the smell of coffee brewing on



the counter. Jim wakes at this time every morning to make sure his lovely wife



has everything she needs to start her day. As the morning passes, they



always take the time to sit and enjoy their breakfast and time together. Never



occupying there time with TV or the news paper, they find there mornings



precious. Before they head out to work they spend time reading devotions and



pray together. Jen being a teacher at Miles Christian Academy teaches math.



Jim works as an Police Officer and youth pastor. There passion growing up



was always helping others, and what better professions to be in. Jim, once or



twice a week stopped in to have a quick lunch with his lovely wife. They



sometimes thought about how they met and how they got to where they are.



Jim being the star athlete, always stayed humble throughout his high school



years. He spent a lot of time volunteering for different agencies around town.



Jen, was maintaining a 4.0 GPA through all four years of school. She spent a



lot of her time tutoring other students and also working at the local animal



shelter. It's at the animal shelter where Jen and Jim met and fell in love. They



got married 5 years later after college, and have been happy ever since. Well



lunch was now over and it was back to work for them both. Before they leave



they kiss each other good bye  and end with an I love you. Just like every



other day, they both arrive home at the same time, walking in the door



together hand in hand.  As Jen sits down to relax, Jim prepares dinner. As



they sit down to eat the talk about their day and make plans for the weekend.



They had decided to head to the park, and have a picnic by the lake, and



throw in a little trip to the ice cream parlor. Before bed they read devotions,



and pray together. Thanking God for everything he has blessed them with, and



praising him for his goodness and grace, and love. As the alarm sounds at



11:00pm Saturday morning, Jim and Jen are getting ready to start out on their



Picnic and activities for the day. Everything was packed in the car and ready



to go. With a last minute check of the house they lock the doors and head



out. Backing out of the drive way Jen starts to laugh. Jim looked over and



asked what was so funny. Jen, almost in tears remind her lovely husband of



the time he ran over the mailbox and the trash can, then getting stuck on the



curb. Finally, spinning out and digging about a 3 foot hole in the front yard. Jim



laughing said that it was Jen's fault because she was the navigator. The



couple heads on to the highway toward the park. Traffic isn't that bad on



Saturdays so there trip is right on schedule. Jim takes the off ramp that leads



to the park. Traveling down through the city Jim comes to a stop at the light.



Jen is so excited about their picnic, she leans over and gives him a kiss. He



smiles as he takes off from the light, and that's the last thing he



remembers...TO BE CONTINUED.....
