driving, but he didn’t know whether he’d
     ever driven a car. Besides, he didn’t have a driver’s license.
    “I don’t think the weatherman said anything about getting a lot of snow this morning,”
     Susan observed. “He did say a few snow squalls could move through our area, and sometimes
     those squalls can give us a couple inches when all’s said and done,” she added.
    Knowing she was nervous and wanting to keep the conversation light, Luke grinned at
     her and said, “Hey, if the snow keeps up like this, maybe we can build a snowman when
     we get home.”
    She nodded and seemed to relax a bit. “That sounds like fun.”

    “Congratulations to both of you,” Meredith said as she greeted her sister and new
     brother-in-law with a hug. “I hope you’ll both be very happy.”
    “I know we will.” Laurie’s face beamed as she clung to her groom’s hand.
    Kevin smiled down at her. “With God at the center of our lives, every day will be
     an adventure.” He nodded at Meredith. “I want you to know that I’ll take good care
     of your sister.”
    She poked his arm playfully. “You’d better, or you’ll have to answer to me.”
    “I sure wouldn’t want that.” He winked at Meredith.
    “Where’s Jonah?” Laurie asked. “I thought he and his folks were coming to the wedding.”
    “They were planning to,” Meredith replied. “Something must have happened.” It had
     started snowing during the ceremony, and now the roads were covered. She didn’t voice
     her concerns to Laurie, but she was worried about Jonah. It wasn’t like him to say
     he was going to do something and not follow through. Maybe he and his folks had been
     in an accident.
    “We’d better go into the fellowship hall,” Kevin said, smiling at Laurie. “Everyone’s
     gathered for the reception.”
    Laurie giggled. “I think you’re just anxious to eat some of that good food the women
     from your church have prepared.”
    He gave his stomach a thump. “What can I say? I’m a hungry man.”
    “Are you coming, Meredith?” Laurie asked. Meredith nodded. “I’ll be right behind you.”
    As the newlyweds headed down the stairs to the fellowship hall, Meredith thought about
     how different from an Amish wedding their wedding service had been. Besides the fact
     that it had been held inside a church building, there would be just one meal following
     the service, not three, like in most traditional Amish weddings. That meant the festivities
     would be over much sooner.
    Meredith was about to head down the stairs, when she caught sight of Merle Raber,
     who often drove Jonah and his folks places when they couldn’t take their horse and
     buggy. He hurried toward Meredith with a grim expression. “Jonah asked me to come.
     He wanted me to tell you that he’s sorry he couldn’t make it to your sister’s wedding.”
    “What’s wrong?” Meredith asked, alarm welling up in her chest. “Did something happen
     to Jonah?”
    Merle shook his head. “His dad got pinned under a buggy they’d been working on, and
     he’s at the hospital getting checked over.”
    Meredith gasped. “That’s terrible. I hope he isn’t seriously hurt.”
    “I don’t think so,” Merle said, “but he was having a little trouble breathing, so
     they wanted to check him over real good.”
    “That makes sense,” Meredith said with a nod. “Thank you for letting me know. I hope
     and pray that Raymond’s okay.”

    “Are you going to come outside and help us build a snowman?” Susan asked Anne after
     she and Luke returned from their shopping trip.
    Anne’s curls bounced around her face as she shook her head. “You two go ahead. I just
     got off work, and I’m gonna curl up in front of the fireplace and finish reading that
     book I started last week.”
    “Is it another Amish-themed novel?” Susan asked.
    Anne nodded. “I don’t know why, but I’m fascinated with the Amish way of life.”
    Susan smiled. “Maybe
