Dear God,
I sat in the stadium watching the fireworks light the sky.
For a moment I was back in California as a child in the arms of my mother, watching as each spark lit the night.
Suddenly I remembered what it felt like to not have a care in the world, before the bullying, before the dysfunction in our family, before the many hurtful relationships. I remembered the joy in my life as my parents cradled my brother and me, admiring expanse above us as a family.
Now, many years later, things are much different in my life. Those memories remain ingrained on my heart, treasured always. Just as I now treasure my love for You.
Thank you for reigniting my heart and letting me love and be loved so deeply.
You are an amazing God and I love You.
Jamie
