Cupid flying high

Last week I went to visit Gert in the North West province of our coun­try. Love & romance was in the air as we shared first cups of cof­fee out­side on the patio every morn­ing and spent our evenings gaz­ing at the stars.

So many times I’ve heard some­one say “I want to shout from the high­est moun­tain, that I love you”.  Guess what: we went there and we did and it was awe­some! It is our heart’s desire to get mar­ried; Gert jok­ingly said that its leap year, I must do the ask­ing. Well, I was waiting…

On our return trip to Pieter­mar­itzburg (Yes, yes, he flew back with me), the were rain­storms and grey skies but there was a moment when it cleared a bit and we were greeted with the most amaz­ing site of the heav­ens.  And there – 8000 meters above the earth - Gert pro­posed to me!  Nature gave it’s most awe­some dis­play with light break­ing through the clouds and then the rays of sun­shine as a fit­ting backdrop. An awe­some priv­i­lege to fly high above the clouds and see God’s splen­dour and glory. We are truly blessed!

… Cupid must’ve been hid­ing on that plane somewhere…
