A delightful thing happened today. I celebrated my 21st anniversary. It marks another interesting milestone. My age is exactly double the years I have been married for the only time in my life. From now on I will have been married to my wife (and she to me) longer than I was without her as my wife. It is a wonderful gift to intertwine two lives like that.
Then, I realized I have known God as long as I can remember, which is about age 4. Every year that is a longer time. But think how long God has know me. I am told that God knew me before I was born and loved me with an everlasting love. Now, I am spending a life time discovering (getting to know) a God who made me, knew me, loved me before my memory even began and promised to be my God before the world was born. It's hard to get truly depressed when you know that.
Even the darkest nights are conquered by sunrise. New every morning are God's mercies. So, I guess I will go to bed now. It won't feel like nearly as long a wait for the dawn if I'm asleep.
