The characters in His Forever Love were some of my favourites. Who couldn't love the geek who turned hunky, successful professor. Bill still had some doubts when it came to leading lady Lindsay, but that made him even sweeter.
Granny Bea reminded me of my own mother, who won't be stopped from doing what she wanted to do no matter how many times she fell on the ground or she wants to give up.
The story is of two people who once held hands around the tree and then had a falling out when he left for college and never came back. He comes back to town to move his granny back with him and is met with resistance. In Magnolia, Georgia, local legend says that a couple who holds hands around the "forever" tree will have an unending love. Even so, Bill Wellington held Lindsay Jones's hands around that tree years ago...and then left her behind. He chose the big city, and now he wants to bring his grandmother there. But to his amazement, he finds that Granny has a boyfriend--and a vibrant life. A life that includes Lindsay, Granny's caregiver. Bill never thought he'd want to come home, yet Magnolia clearly has its charms. As does Lindsay, who makes him long for a second chance at forever love.
It is a predictable love story that anyone cannot imagine. There are so many stories that are similar to this, like in teleseryes, movies, and even in the reality. Even though Bill and Lindsay undergoes so many odds and challenges in their lives they do not forgot who they are.
Passages
They weren’t bad boys they just needed a little firmness for a change.Shout out!
Sometimes men do things that will surely break a woman’s heart and mind. But men are only showing signs that they need something. Women must be aware of some changes and be flexible. If they don’t like the change then break it!
You know I can’t really put into words. I just don’t think God cares about us like you think He does, How could He, if He let my parents die on the way back from doing His work.Shout out!
We must have an open mind to understand God’s messages because he is doing His things in a different way that we are not expecting. And we must also remember that all things do together for a good reason. And that reason is surely for our welfare. And trials are made to sharpen us, to make us strong and a better individual. ^.^
Home isn’t necessarily a place. Besides, you never know. We may end up back in Magnolia.Shout out!
Sometimes our true home is in the heart of the one we love the most.
But once again, she would be giving the freedom to choose love.Shout out!
Our happiness is always in our hands, depends on the decision we make and steps we take.
His Forever Love
Summary
In Magnolia, Georgia, local legend says that a couple who holds hands around the “forever tree” will have an unending love. Bill Wellington and Lindsay Jones were classmates and best friends during their elementary and high school years. They had held hands around that forever tree when they were still grade six while having their experiment. But then Bill left her behind after their graduation in high school. He moved to Boston and went off to college.
But after almost fifteen long years of not seeing each other, the time has finally come. Dona Rae, Lindsay’s best friend was very strong in her instinct that they both are really meant for each other knowing the fact that they once had held hands around the forever tree.
Both of them know about the feelings they have for each other. But Lindsay, being so tied up with taking care of her brother’s children and what she thinks her responsibilities at home, was afraid to tell her feelings for him. Bill was looking for ways just to make her be open with her feelings for him. He invited her for a date and brings her to the place where the forever tree is located. And for the second time around they held hands around that tree. But Bill wasn’t able to make Lindsay surrender her feelings for him. Until such time that he decided to go back to Boston without her in his side.
Lindsay then had realized that what she really felt for him is a true love and that she really need him for the rest of her life. So after that realization, she then followed Bill to Boston.
They went back to Magnolia and planned for their wedding.
Questions for Discussion
- In the beginning of “His Forever Love”, Bill was longing for love and family. Have you ever felt that way? Do you think loneliness would be more difficult for someone who doesn’t have faith in God? Explain.
- Yes, because as a normal person it is just normal to feel lonely and longing for love, especially when no one pays attention on you and you feel left behind .It would be more difficult if you doesn’t have faith in God because you will not feel his presence within you.
- Have you had to face a parent’s or grandparents’ loss of independence? Have you had to face that loss of any debilitating illness yourself? If so, would you share any words of advice for others going through the same thing?
- No, because I grew up away from my grandparents.
- Lindsay was afraid to love because she’d been jilted by a fiancé. Has any event in your life made you afraid to trust? How did you overcome that fear?
- Yes, because my friends betrayed me, but I just prayed to God and thank him for letting me realize that he is still there for me.
- Lindsay filled her life with business. Have you done that in your life? Do you overextend yourself sometimes? Why is it hard to say no when it’s for a good cause?
- Yes, but I think, it depends upon the situation.
- What can we do to make time for God in our busy lives?
- By simply giving time for him and budgeting our own businesses and time
- In the beginning of the story, Bill felt as though God didn’t care about him. Have you ever been in that place? Are you still there? How might you open yourself to God’s love once again?

- Granny Bea can’t bear to see the “for sale” sign in front of her house. Talk about a time you’ve had to give something you love?
- Yes, because sometimes, you really have to give up the good for best.
