The years have flown by for the people of the cove. Children have grown into young adults, and love is blossoming in the hearts and minds of many. But with love also comes heartache. Two people who thought nothing could ever come between them are torn apart by jealousy, anger, and resentment. Can years of love and friendship mend this rift? Will they look to God and remember that they must love and forgive one another as God first loved and forgave us. With the passing of years also comes the aging and passing of dear friends. But joy can be found in the knowledge that as Christians these friends have only moved on to their final reward and those left behind can look forward to a happy reunion one day. For those who know Christ as their Savior never have to say goodbye forever. As the seasons change so do the lives of the people of the cove. The lives of many will be changed forever with the long awaited return of a man, many had prayed would find his way home again. As children grow their parents must learn to let them go and trust that God will hold them safely in his hands. One particular mother in the cove learns this lesson through many prayers and tears. But just as she accepts that children must grow up and live their own lives God sends her an unexpected blessing that reminds her of his wisdom and grace. God tells us for everything there is a season and a time and place under heaven. Come and share the seasons and the changes with the people of the cove. Through their lives you will witness the wonder of Gods infinite love and the wisdom of his seasons of change.

This story was an idea that started years ago when my twin boys spent the summer with their grandmother in North Carolina. Listening to their stories and adding my adventures in Chicago, I came up with the story of a young boy raised by a single parent as my brother and I were. With gangs very prominent in our lives, we were shipped off to Michigan. Combining all this, I created my composite of Bobby. As for Gus, he was created to be a catalysis to provide Bobby with a path, and being a goose, he would be the most unusual messenger.
