Better Days

I don’t even know what song was being sung, but we rejoiced.

We cheered as the Goo Goo Dolls pushed through the sudden downpour.

My love’s arms stretch out above me, shielding us from the cold rain with a tablecloth.

My heart was light in its fullness.  In that moment, I felt all God had ever meant for me.

We listened to the band’s final song as most of the audience disbanded.

The crowd cheered, and I smiled at him.  We kissed.

It was one of the sweetest moments of my life.  And if Heaven is a million times better, I can only anticipate my arrival in God’s gracious court.

For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life (Romans 5:10).

If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” (Luke 11:13).
