I have moments in my life I wish I could take back. Snapping out an answer when I should have kept my mouth shut, ignoring a homeless person that I had a tug on my heart to talk to, turning down an opportunity to teach a class, not picking up the phone when you see it's someone that will keep you tied up for hours. Yes, and I'm just sharing the better worse moments of my life.
But then there are the perfect moments that always brings a smile to my face when I think about them.
The moment your new born baby snuggles up to your neck and wiggles into that little spot under your chin. The time your son is playing right field and hasn't caught a ball all season and this catch will lose or win the game. As the ball lands safely in his mitt, you realize you had been holding your breath, in that perfect moment as the crowd roars and your son flashes a great big smile of gratitude and relief.
The instruments that are being played in church all stop and all you can hear are angelic voices singing in perfect harmony. Walking through a meadow overlooking a stream. Stopping to take it all in and looking up see an eagle gliding right above you. Sitting down to dinner, everyone excited to talk about their day and each one listens to the other and all share and laugh together.
There are usually no words to describe a perfect moment. But you feel each one in you heart. It brings you to the reality that God is in control, even when we think he has deserted us.
I am so thankful for each perfect moment God has given me.
