As the evening wore on and the stars began to appear in the sky, Kevin listened to his daughter, Emily, explain her decision to become a Seventh-Day Adventist. The air in the garden felt fresh and clean. Kevin found himself straightening his shoulders and taking a deep breath, inhaling the crisp night air. A feeling, something akin to contentment, settled in his chest.

Emily spoke with quiet confidence, her words painting a picture of peace and devotion. He saw a maturity in her he hadn't seen before. He leaned forward, listening intently, his eyes sparkling with a quiet joy. He felt a surge of energy to celebrate the occasion.

"I am so happy for you," he finally said, his voice unusually steady.
