Ring, Ring, Rings After Spring

Well, June 4 will always be a special day for the recently married Pierce and Amanda Carpenter. My first time to be a bridesmaid is over and done with, but I still have a smile. The saying "Once a bridesmaid, always a bridesmaid" does not damper my spirit, even though I am blessed to be another bridesmaid in August. During the rehearsal dinner, they showed this cute little slideshow with pictures of Amanda and Pierce growing up accompanied with cute love songs.

It got me to thinking about how I am the bride of Christ. He is my best friend and I cant wait to spend eternity with him. This song reminds me of that special relationship I just described.

"Lucky" by Jason Mraz (Glee Version)

Do you hear me? I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying

Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooh ooh ooh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

Chorus:

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again

I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair

Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning 'round
You hold me right here, right now

Chorus
