It hit me on the way to the grocery store.
A song started to play; the kind of music that tugs at your soul. A hint at the perfect song.
And then the moment passed. The song moved on; leaving in its wake a faint ache and a longing for more.
It was a reminder that I am an eternal being, created for something more.
A reminder that although songs and moments may hint at eternity; in this life, they always move on.
I am thankful for those reminders because, if I let them, they reawaken longings for my True Home where I will hear the perfect song and the ache that comes with wanting something more will be a thing of the past.

if i let them...
how true. why do we seem to push those moments away in the midst of living? thanks for sharing and reminding me to linger in those moments just a while longer.
nicely said, Megan. I'm glad you took a moment to consider this. And? I love your new blog design!
I love songs like that. :)
oh.. this was perfect today. Thank you. I feel that ache in so many songs, am working on a post for my 100gifts that touches on this.
You are so right though.. we must live in our days.
This is such a great post! I was just thinking about this the other day - how worshiping God in eternity will be different from worshiping Him here on earth. You have said it so perfectly - "the ache that comes with wanting something more will be a thing of the past." We'll be hearing perfect songs, forever. :)
