a moment of inspiration

Last week, our 5 months old daughter went into the hospital because the medicine did not have any effects on her dysentry. Needless to say, it was a very tiring time mentally for my wife and I. We just heard the week before that she has a heart problem, and now this? However, we agree that everything will work out for the best and we just try to do our part the best that we could.

We were so preocuppied of holding things together that I was unaware how my wife and I haven't had any personal time for a long time already. And one night, when our daughter was asleep in the hospital, we sat together on the bench outside of her room and just enjoyed each other's presence. After some time, we realized that God has just given us a chance to date each other at that moment :) It was a cheap date. We only had a bottle of mineral water and a bag of chips... we are easy to please huh?

I thank God for reminding me how much I love my wife, and also for reminding me that when you love someone, you just enjoy his/her presence and almost nothing else matters. If only we can apply it into our relationship with God. Just enjoy his presence, nothing else matter. The place does not matter, neither does the words, our clothes, our bodily position, nor the time of day. No pretense, no excuses... just us and God.
