story time....again
ok, story number two for you guys. i told you it would be about an event that stuck in my life, so here it is. this story also takes place starting when i was 13 years old. i lived on a navy base in southern california (pt mugu - some of you have heard of it). well, my family and i used to attend the chapel there every sunday and one particular story the pastor told stuck with me. here's what he said....
"several years ago, when i'd first become a pastor, i was performing a wedding ceremony. well, at the end of the ceremony, i said, 'let us pray.' now usually when i say that, i mean for you to all bow your heads or otherwise prepare yourself for prayer, then i do the praying. well, this time, before i could say anything, the groom just started talking. here's what he said...'lord, i know i don't deserve her, but i sure am glad i got her.'"
well, after that, he went on to talk about how we don't deserve god's love, but we have it anyway. that's not the point of this story, however. when i heard that prayer, it sort of went over my head at the time...i was 13, i didn't know what love was and i didn't care. but then i met rebecca and i knew i didn't deserve her. i used to whisper that little prayer into her ear every night before i went to sleep. it became even more apparent that i didn't deserve her after i hurt her, but she stayed with me anyway. to this day, i still don't know why. like i said in that story about my heart, i thought it meant she really, truly loved me. oh well, back to what i was saying...i knew i didn't deserve her: that may be why i was so thankful that i "got" her...now, though, i've lost her, so i guess i can no longer whisper that prayer to her. i hope some day in the future there will be someone i can whisper it to...who i will actually "get".
