Momentary Glimpse

Pure and white as snow... angel food cake ready to go in the oven.

This weekend was a beautiful glimpse of a flawless era.
Of times past, spent with cousins and family.
Feeling accepted and loved even though they know you a little too well.
Of times present, long conversations with youth from other states.
Feeling refreshed that there are others concerned about the future of the church.
Of times future, as a cousin and friend joined their lives together through vows.
Feeling reminded to be one of the wise virgins and not one of the foolish ones.

Wedding weekends bring time spent with family,
Hanging out with cousins,
Hugs and "I love you's" from grandparents,
Talking to old friends,
Making new ones,
And lots of things to think about...
When the house is quiet and empty,
And you wish you could cling to the moment just a little bit longer.
