I have been thoroughly enjoying the sunshine and light springtime and summer bring. They cheer me up, they warm me, and I would spend every moment covered in their rays if I could. I have discovered a new favorite place to enjoy this marvelous light. If I have free time chances are it will be spent there. I’m living in my grandparent’s house now and they have the best balcony around. I love the view, I love spending time there, I love it!
On Saturday it was a gorgeous day so I hauled all my books outside and did my homework out there. Splendid. When I’m not doing homework and instead just sitting and enjoying the view I find myself becoming very contemplative. The other night the sunset was amazing and I was sitting there by myself with an empty chair beside me and I started thinking about who will eventually fill that chair and sit beside me for the rest of my life. Who will be there even when the cold winds of despair come, who will enjoy the twinkling starlight of delight with me, who will hold my hand as the rains of sorrow come, who will be beside me rejoicing in the sunrises of life and comforting me during the sunsets?
Last night I went to one of the temples of my church and had a marvelous experience. I was sitting outside on the grounds afterwards just watching the couples and families interact. The children’s voices ringing out reminded me of my own childhood but also made me anxious for the day that my children will call out my name. One day soon I will find the person I want to spend the rest of my life with and we will be sealed for time and all eternity.
One day soon when he will sit beside me and together we can enjoy the view.
One day soon.
