Disneyworld; Part 2

On the second day of our Disney vacation we had the opportunity to visit The Magic Kingdom. The Magic Kingdom is an amazing place. Right when you walk into the park you see the vibrancy and activity of Main Street USA and the splendor of Cinderella’s Castle at the end of the street. It’s amazing to see the looks on people’s faces as they enter into the park- so much expectancy and joy. By all accounts; this really is the happiest place on earth. The lengths that Disney goes to to create this special atmosphere is nothing short of extraordinary.

A few months ago I was reading a tweet from pastor Perry Noble that said something to the extent of,” What if the Church invested the kind of money that Disney does in order to introduce people to Jesus?” And he is right! I don’t believe that the CHurch should neccessarily be a form of entertainment, but what if we put that kind of effort and even money into creating an atmosphere of grace, love, and acceptance in our churches- our churches would probably be the happiest places on earth.

One thing that was so great about the Magic Kingdom is that my son went down Splash Mountain for the very first time- and had a blast! He went down all of the hills with his eyes open and his hands up, screaming with joy. We even bought the picture that the ride takes as you decend down the final hill. It is a priceless item and shows the fun and joy that a son can have with his parents.

I am so greatful for the awesome time that God gave us to share with our children while we were in Disneyworld.
