HE knew
I was watching 'Bones' last night (cuz that's what I like to do when I remember [which sadly is like never]).
*Spoiler Alert for anyone who cares*
At the end it got all romantical, and ended with Booth, after years of working together, deciding to take a (what should have been an easy) gamble and ask Brennan out. As he's being all sweet and wonderful he says something along the lines of, 'You know, when you talk to couples who have been together 30, 40, 50 years, it's always the man who says, 'I knew.' I knew. I'm the man, and I'm saying I knew.'
Naturally, I swooned. (And naturally, because the show has to continue to have that tension, Bones said no.) And, when the show was over, I went upstairs and cried, because I would love nothing more than for a guy to say something like that to me, and I don't believe it will ever happen.
But then it came to me: HE knew. HE knew first. HE knew HE loved me before I had a clue. HE knew HE loved me before I was even born. HE has loved me my whole life. HE rejoices over me with singing. HE treasures me.
'How precious are YOUR thoughts concerning me, oh GOD!
How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand..." - Ps. 139:17-18a
How romantic is that?
HE loves me. And I love HIM. And that is what matters.

aw, very good :) and i suppose i act a bit like brennan back to Him. why's it so much harder to believe when i can't see Him saying it to me? since when does sight mean anything? plenty of things people say in person aren't true; but nothing could be truer than God and what He says. :) what a nice new year thought, especially after what i was telling you about! thanks :) and sorry for rambling; it's just cuz it got me thinking & i liked it :)
Thank you for sharing your heart with us. It is so very beautiful!
it's something we all lose sight of now and then. thank you for your honesty.
see? blogging isn't all bad, as mother supposes. i actually admit to having feelings. that must be healthy.
