Addison Jones has an eye for beauty, a mind for detail, and a heart that takes things seriously — which may be exactly why, on the night after Sunday school taught the story of Queen Esther, she dreams herself right into the palace. In the dream, the whole family is there: a Mordecai who sounds remarkably like Dad, a handmaiden who moves exactly like Ana, and a small child who wanders through the throne room at the most solemn possible moment with something that looks very much like a toy truck. But underneath the dream’s warmth is a real question, and when Addison wakes up and brings it to the family table, Esther 4:14 lands not as ancient history but as something written for right now. Because courage dressed in purpose is still courage — and every person in the Jones house was placed exactly where they are for a reason.
