match.com and panera bread

Today is really cold and rainy - just the perfect day for a good book and the leather couch that sits beside the fireplace at Panera Bread! I love just sitting there watching people. I was sitting by the fireplace and a nice man came up and we started chatting..he first talked about how it was the perfect day to sit by the fireplace and then we started making small talk...then I went back to my book and he started in on his newspaper. I noticed he wasn't totally into the newspaper, because he kept looking at his watch and glancing around. I was trying to imagine who he might be waiting for - was it his wife, kids, long time friend? Time would tell...well, after about 45 minutes, a really pretty lady came up who had the same kindness about her that the man did...they welcomed each other and then he got up to get her some coffee. I was thinking how they really were the perfect couple - something about them just went together. They both were extremely friendly ....after he got up, she said the same exact sentence to me about the fireplace that he did, and I told her about it. Her eyes lit up and said how funny that was because they just met for the first time! They "met" through match.com and decided to finally meet in person. She quickly told me how nervous she was but then we changed the subject because he was coming back over... I delved back into my book to give them privacy, but it was fun to glance over every now and then and see how happy they looked to be together. Later, he got up again and the lady again was telling me all about him and he she thought he was soooooo handsome - it was really adorable share in her excitement! Later we all three were talking....I learned that he was from CA and just moved out here for his job in September...and also that he thought Maryland didn't have very good bread, lol. Which is what brought him to Panera... she has lived in Glen Burnie her whole life, but has been to CA many times, and she has a daughter who also loves to read. I also found out that they both believe in God and went to church right around the corner from my house.
I also noticed another couple walking in at about this time....they looked like they were in about their 60s and were so obviously in love. It was just the little things about them...how he put his hand on her back when they were wallking through the restaurant, the way he held the door for her, and just treated her like she was something special.
Something about sitting there today warmed my heart.... it's so special to watch people who are in love. I think everyone longs for that type of relationship. I know that I do someday. However, I think that right now God is trying to teach me to find my sole satisfaction in Him ... He is in Whom I should find my self-worth and value. He is the One capable of a love greater than any human affection. Human relationships are just a picture of God's relationship to us, at least they are supposed to be.
I hope that one day I can be the one with the one I love and have someone watching us, thinking how sweet it is. Until then, I will enjoy being a daughter of the King and take notice of all the ways He showers His love down on me.
