Grace
Eight, nine, ten.
Ready or not here I come.
I am looking for
Y'all stop all that
running around now.
Lord, help me with this child.
Grace, let that child
have some fun.
Her momma's been dead over a year.
It's nice seeing her have fun.
Her mom?
Child you don't know
nothing about her mama.
Please.
Please what?
Annabelle would still be alive
if she wasn't so stubborn.
She was your best friend.
Uh-huh.
And that woman was stubborn as an ox.
And I ain't going to
have it out of this one.
- Look, Grace
- Althea!
- Grace.
- Hmm.
I'm gonna get you.
I'm coming.
Ah!
Girl, what is wrong with you?
I'm sorry, Nanan.
This is the Lord's day
and you're running around here
like you got the devil in you.
Look at what you've done
to that dress.
Do you know how much
that damn dress cost?
You know your mom is up in heaven
watching you right now?
What do you think
she's gonna say what she see?
Get this damn bag in the grass.
Come on, little girl.
I don't even know
if this is gonna come out.
That's about as good as
that's gonna get.
Just going to look like
a stray child today.
Go ahead and make sure nobody
fixing come in that door.
I mean, I spent all morning
trying to make us look nice
and you go and mess it up
in one quick minute.
How you manage to ruin
everything I'll never know.
Come here, girl.
Don't you embarrass me no more.
Okay, Nanan.
Now let's go talk to Jesus.
Just as Abraham was
looking for a new world,
he was a stranger and a pilgrim
looking for a city.
Amen.
Althea, get your bible out.
Now, we're not talking
about just any other city.
Hallelujah.
No, we talking about
the holy Jerusalem.
Where all of God's
preachers live in harmony.
- Yes!
- Have mercy.
- Hallelujah!
- Yes!
And praise Jesus' Name.
Amen.
- Let us stand.
- Almighty.
Stand before the, the,
the Holy Ghost as releases
His spirit.
Can you feel him?
Yes, God.
Hallelujah.
Raise your hands, child.
Y'all have a good day now.
May the grace of
Jesus Christ be with you.
And with you.
Get on up to your room
and change your clothes.
And I better not see
your face until I say so.
Okay, Nanan.
Go ahead on up there.
You're not gonna make
a buzz now, are you?
What in God's Name have you done?
It just slipped.
Move child.
Look what you've done.
The one thing that
your momma left for you,
and you go and break it.
- It just
- Shut up!
And I thought I told
you to change that dress?
Imma tell you something, girl,
Imma tell you a truth.
You ain't never gonna see
your momma again
because your mom is
going to be with Jesus,
and at the rate you're going,
you ain't never gonna see Jesus.
Sitting around here,
drawing pictures.
Well, you need to be
reading the Lord's Word.
Clean that mess up.
You ain't never gonna see your mom.
You got the devil in you.
You're never gonna see Jesus.
Poor baby.
Lost her momma, now her Nanan.
Who'da thought.
Grace.
She was a good woman.
Um-hum.
A God fearing woman.
Um-hum.
They said they found her
in her rocking chair.
No!
I heard that too.
Heart attack.
So sad.
So, so sad.
Althea.
Althea?
Althea, did you hear me calling?
No, Miss Mabel.
I have something for you.
What is it?
Go on and open it.
I know you miss your momma.
It's not perfect,
but it'd be a shame if you lost it.
Thank you.
I know Grace would've
wanted it to fix for you.
Is there anything else that
I could get you, sweetie?
Some paper and some crayons.
Some paper and some crayons?
Yes, Miss Mabel.
I'll be back with some paper
and some crayons.
You know your mom is up
in heaven watching
you right now?
What do you think
she's gonna say what she see?
Hello?
Is anyone here?
Hello?
You okay?
What are you drawing?
It's Nanan.
Oh.
She's in a better place now.
Oh.
Oh, Lord Jesus.
Jesus.
Oh.
You put your drawing away,
it's time for church.
Oh, Lord.
Oh!
All righty, Althea.
With this box we officially moved in.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You ain't moved in until
you take that moving
truck back and bring back our car.
Really, babe?
Yes, really.
I just want everything over with,
then we can relax.
Yeah.
All righty.
Annabelle, you know you shouldn't be
going through my things.
