You Can't Always Get What You Want....

... but sometimes you do!  Today, I was totally granted my wish from yesterday.  Today, we were given a taste of summer.  The weather was mediocre at first, but the day finished with beautiful sunshine.  I had the day off, which meant I slept in and read good books and thought hard-but-good thoughts.  It's spring break, so Robert and Bekki were home with me most of the day, and tonight was the NCAA final, so we had an excuse to have 15 people over for dinner and hanging out.  Our house was filled with people and laughter and food, and silly conversations and real conversations and life.  Sometimes, when I'm by myself, I'm not sure I'm going to make it.  And then nights like tonight are granted to me, and I am filled with hope and light, as well as gratitude for all the people that bring light into my life on a daily basis.  I can't (and shouldn't) always get what I want, but I am so thankful when my desires happen to line up with something good and God in His sovereignty is able to give it to me.  May this taste of summer carry me through to the real thing, and may it be a witness to God's faithfulness for my ever-so-forgetful heart.
