On the same day as the big turtle adventure, We also played on the playground at the lake. There is the nicest play area there I have ever seen. I did not think we would ever get Paydon to leave. Anyway, there was a big slide there and here was the result. He thought it was a blast but his expression on the way down didn't say "fun." Kids are funny. It is neat just to follow them around with a camera and see what they will do that you could be lucky enough to capture.
As adults we stay on top of big slides (proverbial) looking down. There is some big move required on our part. We see the bottom and know what is coming, we are just unsure of the path between. The expression on our faces are not always "fun" either. If God says move, then move. He never promised all would be fun. He did promise He would never leave us nor forsake us. He makes the big move with us. Sometimes, perhaps, He is slightly distanced, just watching His children. Perhaps he thinks the same of us. "Children are so funny sometimes." I hope that I bring that joy to my Heavenly Father, to be pleasing to Him. God bless you all.
