About this listen
On Mother's Day Sunday, twelve-year-old Virginia had two little brothers. On Monday, she had one.
Twelve-year-old Virginia is the babysitter on Monday night while her parents go to help in a campaign plan to raise money for the Red Cross.. Big sisters often become babysitters at a young age. Virginia knew she was supposed to ensure the safety of her three charges, her two younger brothers and their pastor's toddler son. She watches a fire destroy her house, hears the gathering crowd's wild speculations, sees the firefighters' efforts, and wonders when her parents will return.
Virginia feels the consequences of having rescued only two of the three little children. She wishes she had died in the struggle to get them out. She clings to hope for all of them to be rescued and prays to a God she thought loved little children. The fire causes Virginia to disconnect from emotions, lose trust in crucial relationships, and build a protective wall around her heart. Only God and repeated interventions can break through grief, guilt, anger, blame, and fears.
