Martin and Connie

Martin & Connie Martin and Connie had five beautiful daughters and then she found out from her Doctor that she had another baby on the way, but how would she tell Martin of her great news she thought for he is coming home from work at the end of this day. So when the girls were put to bed and the house had quieted down she knelt down on the floor at his feet, shyly and timidly she told him the news of the baby but noticed he wasn’t happy and had started grinding his teeth. Then Martin began to stomp his feet and to holler demanding that she abort this new coming babe, putting such fear in Connie until she determined in her heart she and the girls would suddenly have to flee. The next day when Martin left for work she packed up her girls and fled their nice home, running away with her babies to her family’s farm until the new baby was born and safe from harm and all alarms. The new baby that was born was a healthy big baby boy which was exactly what Martin had longed for, but Connie kept the birth a secret from him until he called to talk to her dad and other members of their tight knit core. When Martin was told that the child was a big baby boy and he fell in repentance on his knees, asking the Lord for forgiveness with all of his heart and for giving him Connie, his girls and his son and for supplying all of their needs.
