Granny Kincaid:
[arguing about God being her solution to everything]
Oh, I know. It's a vexin' thing. It's a cruel thing, havin' your lamb run away. Maybe Danny found a holler log and crawled into it... where the dogs couldn't find him. Maybe he's snuggled up under the roots of a big old tree. However it is, it's beyond our power to help. All you can do is just hope for the best but be prepared for whatever happens. Jeremiah 'Jerry' Kincaid: He ain't dead. He ain't dead! Granny Kincaid: I didn't say he was. I'm only tryin' to tell you to remember that the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Jeremiah 'Jerry' Kincaid: Well, he can't have him. He can't take Danny. Granny Kincaid: You're not tellin' the Lord what he can do or can't do. The Lord'll do the tellin'. [realizes what she just said] Granny Kincaid: Oh, this is all my fault. I've seen it comin'. I've seen it comin' all along. You've turned your heart away from the things I've taught you... ever since you were a little baby. No,Jeremiah, you can't do this. It's one thing, blamin' poor little Tildy for letting your lamb get away... when all she was tryin' to do was to help you feed him. And it's one thing, blamin' me. But it's another thing when you start blamin' your maker. Started out by lovin' the lamb, and that's why I let you keep him. True love ain't a harmful thing. True love's a good thing. It's good for the spirit. But you don't love that lamb any more. What you love is blue ribbons and cash awards. That's all you're thinkin' about-- things that are vain, things of this world-- until you forgot all about the things of the spirit. And when you can't have your own way, you start burdenin' the Lord. You ain't thinkin' of that lamb. You're just thinkin' about yourself. You know what's right, Jeremiah but you'll have to find it in your own heart to do what's right. See more » |
