I just got home from my mini-adventure with my two oldest grandchildren. The often joyous thing about an adventure is all the new things you discover; more often, our adventures are kin to what we know or have already experienced and wish to do again.
I began our adventure excited to reenact the past visits, including the Magic Quest Mystery you have to solve. It consists of the first five floors of the resort and many clues, talking pictures, trees that offer hints, and treasure chests that magically opens to reveal wisdom gems.
Through the years, we’ve advanced to higher levels where the clues are trickier and solving is much harder! Swords packed, we are off!!! However, grandmas idea of fun didn’t seem to match my pre-teens, and the magic quest held no appeal! I am human and will admit to feeling crushed and very disappointed.
As I sat and watched them swim and tackle the rope obstacle course, I realized another stage has passed; change has once again happened, and as I have had to pack up the Disney ball gowns and princess movies, the pirate’s hats and wooden swords, I now have to put away the magic wands. I am sad, but with the passing of one stage, we move into another.
As I have been putting these emotions and feelings into their proper boxes for storage, I am reminded of all the changes in my life, both good and bad, and find myself most thankful that my Lord never changes;
Hebrews 13:8 NCV “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.”
Isaiah 40:8 NCV “The grass dies and the flowers fall but the word of God will live forever.”
He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow, and on this, we can count on, rely on and set our adventures on!
Be blessed today and thank you for joining me I’ve missed being here. ❤️😌

I feel your sorrow as I watch my own grandchildren grow and change and feel/find myself in a different space in their worlds. I hope you all had a great time despite the enevitable changes. Love to you.

There you are; I was starting to worry but was giving you the freedom from a social media time frame before starting to worry…minus Sunshine, I don’t get online much either. We had a great visit. It’s just different, especially with Addy; girls are developing much quicker these days, hell at her age (11). I was still playing with Barbie dolls, anyway, she’s at that confusing growth stage emotionally, and I sympathize and watch my little girl disappear and a young woman trying to appear 😒doesnt make it any easier tho ☹️
