Love Comes Softly Page #5

- Where are we going?

- Going to church.

Missie could fall down

and hurt herself...

even if I'm walking

right there beside her.

That doesn't mean

that I allowed it to happen.

But she knows,

with a father's unconditional love...

I'll pick her up

and I'll carry her.

I'll try to heal her.

I'll cry when she cries.

And I'll rejoice

when she is well.

In all the moments

of my life...

God has been

right there beside me.

The truth of God's love...

is not that he allows

bad things to happen.

It's his promise

that he'll be there with us...

when they do.

I'm gonna go back

to the cabin.

Do you wanna stay a while?

All right.

Missie...

would you do me a favor

and get your pa's dirty clothes?

Get. Would you get?

Yes, ma'am, I will.

Oh, Lord.

Mornin'.

Good morning.

Smells good.

Excuse me.

That wet winter we had

sure did make the ground soft for plantin'.

I haven't seen you

turn a page for 30 minutes.

I can't seem to concentrate.

I'm going over to

the Grahams' tomorrow.

I'm gonna help Ben brand his new calves.

You wanna come along and visit with Sarah?

I don't think so.

I should probably spend the day packing.

It's about that time.

Areyou sure?

I'll let Missie know.

- Missie, come here.

- [Missie] Okay, Pa.

[Indistinct]

[Faint]

I don't want her to go.

[Indistinct]

[Chattering]

Eveything seems to be

in order.

You'll be leaving shortly.

Would you?

[Cooing Softly]

- I wish I didn't have to leave.

- Then stay.

I just can't.

I want you to have my books.

And this.

My mother gave it to me.

I might be leaving...

but my love is

staying here with you.

Please say good-bye

to Sarah and Ben for me.

I'll always be grateful

thatyou were there that day.

I don't know

what I would have done.

[Softly]

Bye.

Bye.

Might as well get my things

moved out ofthe lean-to.

Okay.

Father...

I don't know why

you brought Marty into my life...

only to have her

leave like this.

I know I don't always

understand your plan...

but I ask you...

with a shattered heart...

please help me

to accept it.

[Sobbing]

Amen.

Missie!

I'm going to bring Marty back. You don't

leave the cabin. I'll be back as soon as I can.

Hyah! Hyah!

Come on!

I'm glad to be leaving

this god forsaken part of the country.

I wouldn't call it

god forsaken.

Horrible snowstorms.

Beautiful sunsets.

Rich soil.

A woman has to be crazy

to stay.

Crazy.

Or in love.

[Clark Yelling]

[Faint]

Marty!

Marty! Marty!

Marty! Marty!

Marty!

What's going on?

Who's Marty?

- [Man] Whoa, whoa.

- [Whinnies]

Clark, what are you doing?

A man loses his woman, he goes after her.

It's as simple as that.

I thought you wanted me to go.

- I didn't see the note.

- You didn't try to stop me.

Until today.

Don't leave.

Stay with us.

Stay with me.

Please.

But... But I have to stay

for the right reasons.

Stay because I love you.

I... I love you.

Or maybe...

I should stay

because I love you.

That's a good reason too.

Whoa.

Mama.
