Oscar Vega is a self-made multi-millionaire in the oil industry. He has passed away and his wife and companion of thirty-five years and son are grieving His son is work-absorbed and has no love interest in his life. This is not the future Oscar desires for his only son.
So, Oscar gives his closest friend and business associate a mission - find a wife for his son. Oscar is so determined that he states in his will that his friend, as well as his wife (and executor), must complete the mission to ensure they carry it out.
His friend takes a five hundred mile journey to find his son a wife in Oscar's homeland. His friend, feeling inadequate, prays for a solution. Before he finishes praying, she shows up, exactly as he had prayed for. God has answered his prayer that quickly. What happens next is truly miraculous beyond the quick answer to prayer. We have all seen them. Romantic comedies typically cater to those desiring lighthearted romance. This one might be a bit different. It is based on a four-thousand year old story. Yes, a true romance from Biblical times.
This is a gentle inspirational story about finding family, faith and love over the devastating grief and sorrow of loss. Overcoming the challenges of cultural difference and geographical separation.This story in Genesis 24 could have originated in Hollywood or Vancouver. This has all the characteristics of a Hollywood-style meet-cute rom-com movie. Boy meets girl. Boy falls for girl. Maybe love at first sight. They fall in love, get married and have twins. They lived happily ever after. The whole nine yards. Our story illustrates how God had a hand in the biblical story. God uses the faith of His followers to guide the destiny of the characters in this pleasant romantic comedy. Our story includes comical moments, though not made in the big movie centers of Hollywood and Vancouver.
Many people would not think that to be true of stories in the Bible, but this may be the exception. In our tale of faith, family, and love, we provide a retelling of Genesis 24 in a modern-day setting and modern circumstances.
