Like a Lollipop
Life is like a lollipop! :) Think back to the days when you received a special lollipop, filled with all its glorious sugar! There was nothing better than having permission to dig in! You savored that sweetness - even the sticky sweetness all over your face!
I was reminded of this simple truth as I missed Trey in a deeper way on a recent trip to Pittsburgh. I walked in to Jay and Rachel's house and it was quiet...and grown up. The sugary sweet sound of Trey wasn't there.
Yettttt.....the super sweet memories were everywhere! Photos, stories, smiles, and tears helped us to remember that season of life. Ohhhh, it was glorious while we had it! Sweet...and sticky....and soooo much fun! It didn't last forever, though. Like a lollipop, the special treat was only meant to last a short time. God reminded me to be thankful for each precious memory - and each memory yet to be made.

Life is a series of "lollipop" moments. That is the best we can hope for this side of heaven, but one day, we will meet Jesus face to face and enjoy the never-ending, unconditional, oh-so-good-for-you sweet gift of eternal life!
