Golde's POV

"The Lord has blessed us, my children." Tevye smiled at my daughters and looked up at me.

Here we were, staring at a new country. America. I was scared, frankly who would be? We were now strangers heading toward a new land. Our ancestors did the same thing in Egypt. God was leading them and now He was doing the same with us.

"Mama, Is this the place?" Bielke called.

I sighed and took a deep breath.

"Yes little one, this is our new home…The Lord will provide."

"That he will…" Tevye replied.

He looked at me. His face was filled with sorrow yet wonder.

I mean, we were going somewhere that was completely new to Anatevka. Our family was recently broken in two. Tevye was heartbroken when our third oldest Chava and our second oldest just moved into Siberia with her husband. I felt the same way. I was nervous going into a new land but I knew He would provide. He did before, He will do it again.

"I'm sure someone will need a dairy man…" Tevye nodded as he hugged me. He knew that I was scared as him or even more afraid and worried.

"The poor people who hire you…" I chuckled softly.

Tevye was more of a self-made business man. He would make himself boss before he would be someone's employee.

"Golde," He replied with a mock glare.

"I thought you loved me…..I asked you that one day…Well, do you or do you not!" Tevye teased lightly.

"And I said I suppose I do…" I joked back.

"Mama?"

I turned my head. One of my little ones, Shprintze, pointed at this tall statue. It was green and quite large. The statue held a large torch and a book.

"Wow!" Motel, my son in law exclaimed. Motel, Tzeitel and our grandson came along with us on our journey away from Anatevka.

"What is it, Papa?" Tzeitel asked.

"I don't know…It may be a sign...Perhaps the Lord put it there for people to see…To show them that there is a country open to those who need a place to call home when the place they used to call home is now not theirs anymore."

"The Lord is going protect us..All of us..." I whispered as I hugged my two youngest daughters.

"God has Hodel too?" Bielke chimed.

I looked at Tevye. Tevye softly smiled.

"Yes, He has Hodel, my little Bielke." Tevye smiled.

"Chava too, Mama?" Shprintze whispered in my ear.

I looked at my daughter. Tears started to brim in my eyes.

"Shprintze...The Lord has everyone in their hands...He has Chava...Wherever she is...I know He has our Chavaleh in His hand." I whispered back in her ear.

I sighed as I looked my family. Yes, God would have all of us even those that were now across the world from us. This would be a new home but our family would still be in my heart and I knew we were in God's.
