And I feel like I'm remembering these days like an old woman would.
I read Philippians last night.
Its the first time I've read my Bible in awhile, I hate to admit it.
Maybe I was suffering an overdose and have been in recovery since.
It's interesting now reading a book in the Bible and remembering where I was when I read it last.
Last time I read Philippians it was 1 or 2 in the morning, my team and I had been stuck on the Greek Island of Samos for the entire day. Now we were waiting for our ferry to take us to Athens... It was late by 5 hours.
With this time on our hands and the entire Bible to be read in a matter of weeks we took the opportunity to read Philippians and Colossians out loud in groups of four. Midnight reading in Greece.
After we finished reading I took my sleeping bag and with another girl made my way back toward the ocean, there were a few benches along a wall beside the sea. I laid my sleeping bag on one of the benches and curled up, just listening to the ocean. I wrote in my journal that night-
"It's like a dream. Perfect. I'm starting to see that God sometimes just wants to give us gifts, just because he loves us. He gave us Samos and a beautiful sunset. These are moments we couldn't even ask for. He gives them freely."
I think another gift He gives us is memory,
and how things grow sweeter over time.
