I'm glad to hear you confess it because I always get so mad at myself for not being able to "hold on" to His wonderfulness, blessings and presence more tightly and longer. I'm thinking more and more, that it's probably because then I wouldn't turn to Him as often. God is so amazing and knows us so well that He knows that I would forget all about Him if I could bottle up those wonderful moments longer. The most amazing thing is that each time He gives me a blessed experience like your day in the city, I desire more and more moments like that so naturally, I seek Him even more often and intensely. Again, the principle works amazingly well and who could have thought up or known something like that about us but God! That’s exactly what happens to me too!
