Extra long post but…. 😊
So yesterday afternoon, it was a bit… well.
Just God. Period.
“Even in all the evens.”
When I leave work from talking to my sweet God daughter I head to prayer.
We get in there and discuss (John 13:35) and then get ready to pray, I couldn’t find the ability to get out of my seat to go to the altar but I felt the tugging on my heart to just lay here and rest.
I laid down in the seats, knees to chest and hands curled up under my chin with my hair in my face. Closed my eyes and just took a deep breath and it was like I was laying in Jesus lap.
And He was playing with my hair.
Perfect peace and rest.
Then I realized that this is exactly how I lay in Derek’s lap on nights I can’t stay awake during the movie lol.
I get home and I attempted to cook one of his favorite snack meals.
Sausage and green beans. (He ate this at a friend’s house and loved it so much he came home and had to fix it for us.)
It’s only by his sound mind that I was able to remember what kind of sausage and green beans it was lol.
I beeed it.
I cant say I aced it because his was the best.:):)
Sooooo good.
I make to it the couch and Grayson is playing us some music on his guitar.
I get a text about the game in Oxford this weekend and then it hit me like a ton of bricks.
Football season is officially here.
We would be grilling and enjoying the game.
I’d be asking a million questions then would finally cuddle up on his lap and fall asleep as he played with my hair.
I realized I didn’t even know what time either game was Saturday or who either Ole Miss or State played or how to even get it on our TV…. ahhhhh
Football season.
For some of us, it isn’t about the football at all but about the moments that football bring.
Cherish them!
And plan the evenings together!
I won’t be home this Saturday but you can bet next Saturday we will have this tv figured out and we will enjoy a evening of togetherness watching the game and taking in every moment with my babies and friends.
But for the rest of the night, I decided to cry it out as I managed to choke out the words “it’s-football season and I don’t know how to get it on the tv.” To Grayson.
He said momma are you crying?
I just explained it all to him and come full circle and let him in my hard moment and of course as his sweet heart tried to think of all the ways to get it on the tv to come to the rescue, we decided to figure it out later….
and he played on and guess what I did…
Curled up on the couch and just rested in the lap of my sweet Savior again. And…. Derek’s too.
Im calling it a Brandi Heaven sandwich these days the way heaven sends hugs and biG loves.
I’ve said it before and l’ll say it again.
I crave moments like this and you would think being perfectly normal one minute and full blown crocodile tears the next would be a little obvious as it’s coming but nope.
Just outta nowhere, liquid love comes flowing down without warning and without even the ability to hold it in.
If you ever see me out and this moment happens.. Just know its coming from a place of Heaven and Pure Love and I am ok. You just get to be part of the tear filled moment. :):)
Take the time.
Plan the dates.
Figure out the grill.
Invite friend over.
Go hang out with them too.
Invite yourself even.
You are wanted, I promise.
Don’t stop living.
Do all the things with all the Ones in this life that bring you joy.
And do all the things that those in Heaven love to do too.
It’s within you that legacies lives.
It’s within you that the kind of Love that never fades, lives on.
For all eternity.
