A few days ago I was checking out the news on the internet and had clicked on a clip about Elton John celebrating his 60th birthday. That was of interest to me, because his song How Wonderful Life Is has sentimental value to me. It is the song Bill and I chose for 'our song' when we were courting, and it still is. As a matter of fact, we danced to it on our wedding day.
Bill pulled up a chair so we could watch the clip together. As we watched, they played 'our song' in the backround, which was really quite a surprise to me considering all the songs Elton John has recorded in his musical career. I thought it quite timely for them to play 'our song' while we were watching together, which we don't often do. It was a memorable moment.
Later, as I was thinking about the lyrics to that song, one line especially stood out: "I don't have much money, but if I did, I'd buy a big house where we both could live." Suddenly it struck me that this verse was actually coming true right now! We recently purchased a house just the right size for us and will be moving into it shortly, just in time for our 18th anniversary. Our dream has come true. 'Our song' is now a reality.
This is quite an exciting development for me, having a place to call our own, to do with as we would like to. And, of course, to share with our children until it's time for them to have a place of their own.
I've imagined myself living there a number of times as I've gone about my day.
Little flashes, pictures in my mind. Sometimes, that's all it takes to run with my imagination. My anticipation increases by the day.....
But my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19
