Jacob’s Dreams Of Paradise: An Amish Romance

Synopsis: Jacob’s Dreams of Paradise – Jacob knew he was dying but wanted a family and son more than anything else in the world. When a new woman joined their community he knew immediately that she was the one. His only problem was in telling her that he would soon be in the Lord’s service, and how she would react when he told her.
Jacob Miller, more than anything in the world, wanted to become a chef for his community. That desire, of course, was secondary to being in the Lord’s grace for as long as he lived. He understood the path to being accepted as a real chef by people around him would be a long one, but he was trying very hard at the chance. At only twenty-two, he was putting his whole heart into the effort.
Baptism was behind him by almost a year and his immediate goal was to create a new dish every day from the produce they grew on the farm. Jacob loved the thought of growing the food that he masterfully turned into dishes for people to eat. And, he was good at doing it. But food production and cooking were only two of his goals.
He’d also love to start a new family, but time was running out and there was no one within his congregation that was suitable to be his wife, at least in Jacob’s opinion.
All of the women were strong and hard working, but the majority of them were either too young or too old for raising another family, or their first one. Too, other women simply didn’t want to get married, or if they married, they weren’t interested in having children with a husband who would leave those children fatherless in a brief amount of time.
That was Jacob’s number one problem - he knew he was dying.
And so did everyone else, with one exception.
On that beautiful morning, Jacob was in the middle of a very muddy field that ran alongside the community hall where he cooked and people gathered to eat his bounty. He had been busy digging up fat, golden potatoes and throwing them into the burlap sack he’d slung around his shoulder. He saw her arrive just as he stood up to take a drink of water from the bottle he carried in his pocket and to stretch his body out from bending over so much.
Jacob shaded his eyes from the bright sunlight that had begun to hurt them of late, probably a side effect of the genetic disease he had that was rapidly weakening his body and his immune system. He was squinting hard to get a better view of the girl as she climbed down from the carriage that had brought her to the farm and into his life. She stood by the carriage, her battered suitcase in hand, looking around her timidly.
Her eyes fastened on Jacob as he stared at her. When he realized he had been spotted stealing a glance, Jacob took off his hat and tried to wipe some of the muddy dirt off his face. She moved a little closer to him and smiled.
Hi, I’m Jacob,
he greeted her while his heart was busy flip-flopping in his chest. You new here?
What a crazy question, he thought to himself. Of course she was new; he could already name every person who lived for miles around.
The girl lowered her eyes to the ground at first, but she gradually lifted them back up to his face and nodded. He could tell she was shy.
Uh-huh. I’m Mary. Mary Bridgewater. Nice to meet you, Jacob.
What brings you out to our place?
he asked, anxious to know how permanent her visit might be.
"My parents were killed in an accident, leaving me alone. My church members decided that
