olympics or something at first i didn't know what to do i was a little embarrassed i mean sitting in the bench passing out towels and he didn't care he was so proud of me you wouldn't believe what happened next what the whole team's calling my name grace grace grayson i'm like staring at my dad oblivious it's finally one of the girls grabs me and she pulls me and she's points at the coach and the coach is frantic calling me over and i'm like what did i do wrong now it was the final release of the day one of the girls got hurt or something and for some reason the coach was calling my name what'd you do i smell i swam like i've never sworn before and we won we actually won it was awesome [Music] and that raised qualified as regionals and the rest like they say it's history well at least

something for you i was gonna give it to you this morning but you were in such a hurry that i didn't and then i well this belongs to your son luke where'd you get this jenna used to bring luke by the shelter from time to time i would play catch with him out back well one day he left it there and when we didn't hear but anyway i thought i would keep it secure thank you now you can give it to him yourself although i suppose you've bought him a new one a long time ago [Music] you okay i never liked working down at that shelter oh the riffraff maybe i was wrong she always saw the good in people i just saw the bad what happened to her there i go being nosy again i was a cop protecting serve it's my job to protect him rick pull over we've been working this big case for a long time we finally busted the guy a real stand-up citizen rotary club philanthropist kids in highway league schools works turns out he was also responsible for half the drug trafficking in the state i got a promotion he got 14 years instead of rotting in a cell somewhere he got cancer got it real bad too so they moved into a hospital i knew it wasn't gonna take him long to find a way out of there turns out i was the first person he couldn't wait to see i had scrimped and saved doing everything to hide it from jenna so while i'm sitting at a travel agency booking the parish trip she always dreamed of that dirt bag is coming for me babe i got you a little surprise i think you're gonna like it i saw luke uh playing ball down the street so i know that we are all alone right now just the two of us baby man that turkey smells fantastic oh isn't that sweet go ahead and pull it baby go out back right now honey you just stay right there sit down she got nothing to do with this jenkins she's got everything to do with us my wife my kids my life you took them all from me what do you want what do i want how about cure for cancer i'm dying detective i'm gonna die colton alone and i want you to know what that feels like are you a ninja keep moving towards me detective i'm begging you turn around right now and leave no harm no foul oh really no harm three shots ringing one went through my knee another one

never too late to keep your promise let's get you home [Music] can you stop the car what is it grace what's going on times are ticking do you think it's true that god has chosen that one special person for each of us that one person that's meant to be with us for the rest of our lives here we go again with the god stuff can we just grace what are you doing grace what not come on rick i can see a glimmer of hoping you you don't have to be the tough one all the time grace she did it again do you believe in love at first sight i used to work at this little coffee shop not too far from here this tall handsome marine walks in he sits at the counter i'm so nervous i could barely pour his coffee what are we doing here grace it was love at first sight for him he proposed on our first date i mean he didn't have a ring or anything but he knew i was the one and i knew he was the one too and then you came here and learned a dance and whatever one of your wedding right well i was so mean do you really have to say that you think you're dealing with special moments grace my wife and i came to this same studio this is where she taught me how to dance and yes we wowed everybody at our wedding and we vowed that we would never stop dancing and then your god in his infinite wisdom took her from me and we're never gonna dance together again how's that for a happy ending i'm so sorry sorry for what you'll have to be sorry you get to go have thanksgiving with your family and i can't can we just go to the car please was it love at first sight for you too does it matter maybe was it rick was it yes my heart was beating out of my chest the first moment i saw her then maybe it is true that god has that one special person for us and it doesn't matter how long we spend with them what matters is how we spend the time we had with them maybe that's why god put us together today to teach us how to appreciate every single moment we have no i i'm not much for dancer anymore i got that that bum leg remember come on no one's watching dance with me officer not now i know i got to review this case for the morning it's a case i'll still be there this moment it's a big case you doing i'm

one that thinks they fail to take care of the ones they love i've struggled with that for so many years blaming myself every day grace that wasn't your fault faith is believing the things we can't see i'm just trusting it's all part of a better plan and that there's a deeper meaning i gave up trying to figure out a long time ago oh you can't give up rick you can't you have to trust that god knows better than we do i've been dead inside for years grace there's no hope for me i was in that same exact dark hole that you're in there is hope believe me come on we should get going it's gonna get

of thing i am in my heart i just haven't been able to come to service in a long time the whole new car thing that's silly but you're right a car would have been very helpful today so um did your wife go to church i'm sorry you don't have to talk about it no no it's fine yes yep she always came to church and i would come with her you know because she wanted me to my son seemed to like it so you know that made her happy you're a kind man rick any other guy would just sit in the couch and watch a game or whatever they do no it made her happy that's the only reason i haven't stepped foot inside a church in five years i understand sometimes it's hard trusting that his ways are higher than ours you know we should probably get a move on only because it's only gonna get colder as the night goes on do you mind if i pray before we go sure you can join me if you'd like no no i'm uh i'm good right here lord i was in a dark place this morning [Music] forgive me for not trusting you [Music] he sent me to the middle of nowhere and i met this kind man rick you made us meet at that very moment for a reason i pray that you soften his heart [Music] he's had a rough go of it i pray that you give him understanding and peace so we can continue our time together today amen [Music] do i hope you didn't mind me adding you to the prayer no no it's fine it's fine oh wait what i left my purse inside
