The Lord Is My Shepherd

What happens

Caroline gives birth to a son, Charles Frederick, and Pa is overjoyed. Laura feels pushed aside and, in a moment of jealousy, prays that the baby would go away. When the infant falls ill and dies, Laura believes it is her fault.

Overwhelmed with guilt, she runs off into the hills hoping God will trade her prayers for her brother's life. There she meets a mysterious stranger named Jonathan who helps her understand loss and forgiveness, while Charles searches desperately for his daughter. One of the series' most moving early stories, it originally aired as a two-hour episode.
