As much as I would love to say I wrote this, I did not. :) It's copied from page 35 of "James: Faith Under Pressure" by Pam Gibbs. (That's the Bible Study we're doing in the high school girl's focus group) I'm really enjoying it so far! Anyway, this is by far the cutest and most accurate thing I think she's talked about so far, so I thought I'd share it!
There's just something unique about visiting Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World.
The minute you walk into the amusement park, it's like you've stepped into another world. A world full of princesses, castles, and music. Beasts and their beauties. A silly old bear and Christopher Robin. In the Magic Kingdom, little girls become princesses, and little boys turn into pirates, It really does seem ,ie the happiest place on earth - a place were there is no mounting deficit, no wars in the Middle East, and no political lobbyists peddling their brand of truth.
(Oh, except for this paragraph...I wrote that because she talked about taking her six year old to Disney. I can't really relate to that, so I used my exp instead)
Disney World IS a magical place. I've been 3 or 4 times and each trip holds a special memory. You get to eat breakfast with Cinderella, ride "goofy" rides, and enjoy classic rides like Dumbo the Flying Elephant. When your at Disney World everything else seems distant and unreal...until you come home.
At the end of every trip you have to return to real life - where friends say hurtful things, dogs run away, and mean people sometimes go to jail. No one can stay in Magic Kingdom forever. Life isn't perfect; most of the time it's just hard. Tough stuff happens. People will hurt you. Your life will get turned upside down by situations you never expected.
While the kings in the fairy tales are just imaginary, the King who rules over the world is real, and He rules over every circumstance and trial you'll ever face. Jesus meant it when He said that He would be with you "always." (Matt. 28:20)
