This is about as perfect a song as you can find. And it makes so much sense to start right
here. This song takes you from the early
moments when you first saw each other right up to the end of life and death
parts you.
I love the idea that he takes her back to where they had
their first date and that is where he proposes.
He doesn’t care who is watching.
Why should he? His whole future
is looking him in the eyes and he is oblivious to what the world around him is
doing. Nobody else matters. Nobody can distract him from what is in front
of him. He is not taking his eyes off
the prize. He sees as far off into the
future as his imagination will let him and there is nothing he would rather
have than her in that moment and the road before them.
The part I love most about this song is that he keeps
thinking “wow at this moment there is no possible way I could love this girl
any more than I do” And then something wonderful happens and he is thinking “no
way…this is even more amazing than that last most amazing moment! How will I top THIS?” But not long after something happens and he does. And the amazement continues.
Do you ever stop in that moment when you catch yourself just
looking at her? And you realize you are
being overwhelmed with the emotion of the moment. She doesn’t even know you are looking at her
and you are just submersed in feelings of love and adoration and you think “Why
Lord? What did I do to deserve this
woman you gave me?” And you realize the
answer is nothing. He gave her to you
because He loves you. And then it happens again.
You are even more in love with this gift from God than you were just
moments before.
This is how our relationships should work. This is a perfect
outline for how things are meant to be from start to finish. We need to work on filling in the
details. This is just the outline. A road map.
And the stops along the adventure are up to you. Take care along the road to record as much as possible so you can replay it all when you need to charge your batteries.
HEARTWORK: Take her
back to the place of your first date. If
you are married…propose again. If not,
at least pour your heart out to and tell her what you see on the road in your
mind’s eye. Show her pictures in your
phone that you took of her that she doesn’t know you have (I have those) Tell her what they do to you when you look at
them in your quiet time. Pay attention
to how you feel when you do this. You
will be amazed.
