A Daughter's Wish

A Daughter's Wish has been written during this time of societal upheaval. Decisions of life and death have been relegated to a determination of convenience or inconvenience. More commonly known as a right to choose, this political debate, with its governing laws, has historically been the subject of bitter discussions. In an environment where God has basically been overlooked by human nature, what is the foundation or rationale for deciding who lives or who dies?

The author is not asking for the reader to take a position on this controversial subject, at least not until they have read this young couple's story. As young high school students madly in love with each other, they made the decision to engage in the weakness of the flesh. The results of their self-absorbed decision leads the young couple down a path that draws societal opinion, family pressures, and consequential life decisions both short-term and long-term. They have been given a gift from God, but suppose this gift was not planned or welcome.

This story highlights the consequences of a decision involving the life or death, acceptance or rejection of a newborn creature that is under God's plan. The story exhibits some fascinating ramifications when God examines the young couple's freewill decision while agreeing to meet the expectations of a daughter's wish!
