The Date

Curried Chicken, Lemon Grass soup and Jasmin Tea.  That's what I had for lunch today, plus the company of my dear wife.  Today was a Date-Day.  One of those marketing packs came in the mail the other day and as we were flipping through all the advertisements for gutter-guards and carpet cleaners we spotted a winner.  The coupon for the Thai restaurant caught both of our attention.  We lifted our heads and looks towards each other, our eyes meet and we knew ... "It's a Date!"

After 31 years of marriage Joyce still looks forward to going out on a date (with me!).  Now please note that going out to lunch is different than going out on a date.  A date requires forethought and planning which generates anticipation whereas you can go out to lunch together anytime without forethought or intention.  I'm not against being spontaneity, but without picking a date it really isn't a "Date". 

Just a reminder ... God as chosen a date for His Son to return for His children.  Oh, what great anticipation.  What a tremendous day He has in store for us.  "I go to prepare a place for you ..."
