The Full Moon

Few evenings are as perfect as this one.

It's October.

I stepped out onto the back porch to find friends - the kind of friends that flood you with love and affection and an outpouring of spiritual truth.
There was champagne ( is that spelled right?). Ben, your pipe was being passed around the table used and admired.
The moon was almost full, and the fire pit was stoked by Katherine's years of experience.

There are two situations which drive me to the feet of Jesus.
1) the time in which nothing is right. Everything seems to fall apart. The hopes and dreams I think are right crumble apart while I watch in confusion. These situations remind me that Christ holds all things together. And it becomes obvious that my desires and affections will be fulfilled only in the coming and worship of my dear Lord.

2) The other times are the brief moments where everything seems to fall into place. Like this evening. Hearts connect, joy is present among all. Pleasure without sin. The beauty of nature and conversation directs our attention to the creator. And I realize again that Christ holds all things together, and am joyously awaiting the time this will last forever. The curtain will be drawn and I will be shocked and surprised at how much I had been missing all along.

Praise to Jesus who will one day reign present with us fully in all His glory.

Thanks to Luke Groce for exhorting words from Colossians.
