The Promise

Excerpt - ?Oh God, if you?re up there, you gotta help me. My sister needs food. I need food. Please help.? Jack's head dropped down on his arms. He didn't cry. He was too tired to cry. He was too tired to think. He just sat, arms folded, head down. The door behind him opened with a creak. Warm air spilled out wrapping him in a hug. Two well-dressed men ambled down the steps. ?That stupid waitress put mayonnaise on my roast beef sandwich. I wanted mustard. Now it's ruined.? ?Come on, Harry, don't be so fussy. Just eat it.? ?I?m not eating mayonnaise. I?ll get my secretary to run out and buy another when I get back to the office.? The businessman dropped the sandwich in a trashcan not three feet away from Jack. - Jack and Leah orphaned and on the streets of New York face starvation. In desperation, they cry out to God. He miraculously provides food, friends and a new life.
