ALTAR TO DIEU

Bonjour Grann,

I Got up at dawn to begin building my Altar to Dieu. An altar to show I honor the Sabbath above all. I will be blessed. And I will work hard. And I will worship on the Sabbath and use the finest blankets on a driftwood altar top, and this will show my worthiness and love. And Bijou and I will be blessed.

I found a wheelbarrow outside, leaning against the back wall of Marvella. The wheelbarrow is built more like a cart with two large bicycle wheels and a large bin for hauling dirt and rock.

Bijou was excited, as always, when we headed to the corner of the meadow, where there is a quarry to collect rocks; our driftwood altar top will have a sturdy-rock foundation.

I struggled through the pain to haul the large stones over to the altar site; the two areas could not have been further apart. My sacrifice

Sacrifice

"SAK-ruh-fyce"

A sacrifice is the act of giving something up, or surrendering something of value like time, money, or even one's life for a higher value, or purpose.

 to Dieu.

The ocean will part with a hurricane-like breeze; and we will be rescued! Ma mere said it didn't hurt to dream.

Tomorrow Bijou and I will go down to the shore for the driftwood and add them to the stones to finish the altar, and Dieu will be pleased; and we'll finally be home! I can feel it in my bones.

Sleep well, Grann.
