Magical Places

Have you ever been somewhere magical?

I don't mean Walt Disney World or a theme park in St. Louis. I'm talking about a place that has a special, magical memory attached to it.

This place may be something as simple as a field in the park where you and your best friend used to spend time roaming around. It might be the hotel in Florida that you took your first ever trip away from home to. This place might be a small church camp that you visited last winter where you met some amazing people and had the time of your life. Don't you have a place like that? Somewhere that makes you think of happy memories, exciting stories, and wonderful occasions...

I don't want to burst your bubble, but here's the reality: that field is just a field. The hotel is just a hotel. The place you went to camp? It's just another campground. What makes your memories of those places special is who you were with. You could be standing in a blank, white, room with 12 of your closest friends but still have the time of your life. It's not because this room was awesome. It's because the people you were able to spend time with.
