Windows in the World

I used to dread weddings.  I also used to dread going to Disney World.  But something changed in me a few years back (I think it was having three children).  Now I love seeing the wonder on my children’s faces when we walk through the Magic Kingdom.  I love mustering enough wonder to feel like a kid again myself, moving through a world where there is more than what you can see with your eyes, where anything can happen.  When we get a wedding invitation in the mail, I’m the one who sticks it on the fridge and marks the calendar.  My wife and I hold hands and watch the groom’s face as his bride glides down the aisle toward her destiny and his delight.  I love all these things because they remind me of Christ.  They are products of his imagination–whether the institute of marriage, or communion, or the childlike wonder of a great story–and they remind me that there is goodness in the world, and that it is only a shadow of an even greater, better world that we can’t yet see.
