What joy to find that after all these years I can still feel like a princess. Yes it is possible. And when you realize the feeling is there you don’t want it to go away. You want to hang onto it, share it and renew that feeling daily.
How did it happen? It all started a few months ago when my sweet husband mentioned going to Disney World with his brother and his family. My first thought was “Yeah, right. I’m so out of shape I would have a great time trudging through the crowds, listening to kids cry that they’re tired, etc. etc. etc!!
Soon after that God got my attention, again, about my attitude. I’ve had trouble with my attitude more in the last year than my parents did when I was a teen. So…I asked God to help me. I told him that I would go if Joe really wanted to. I still really didn’t want to, but an amazing thing happened. My attitude began to change as I continued to pray.
Even with the changes, I really didn’t expect to have such a wonderful time. By the end of the third day, our first day at Magic Kingdom, I didn’t want to leave. I told my honey that I didn’t want to go home. He replied, “You mean you want to live in Florida?” I said, "No, I want to live here, at Magic Kingdome." I pointed to a two story building and said, "We could rent an apartment and work here."
We laughed and I think he realized what a wonderful time I had. I wonder, if I had stuck to my first inclination, demanding my way, not seeking out the Lord for help, would I be so happy now? I would have gotten my way, but would I be happy?
What do you think?
