Standing in Awe

As we are preparing for our trip to Disney, I am reminded of a beautiful moment from a past trip that I will never forget. Our daughter, Addison, was two and her favorite princess was Cinderella. She lovingly called her "Rella". We had scheduled a princess breakfast where Addison would be able to meet the princesses. Our baby girl loved meeting, talking to, laughing with and taking pictures with Snow White, Aerial, Belle and Aurora as they came by to greet her. It was like she was catching up with old friends. Then there was a pause as she looks up and saw "her"..... "Rella" in the flesh. She could not move. She could not speak. Cinderella came over, took pictures and talked to Addison. She was lovely and so kind. Addison was never able to speak she stared in awe at the object of her adoration. I do not expect to ever see this reaction again from my daughter in this lifetime; but I wait patiently for the day that I will feel this adoration and bow to my King who I have waited to see. I can only imagine the feeling of matchless awe that will consume the moment. I just picture kneeling in a river of thankful tears and being overcome with wonder.  Thank you, Father, for giving me a glimpse of true wonder and adoration in that precious moment with my daughter. I await the day that I can stand in amazement at Your presence.
