I think Christmas is the most magical time and Disney is one of the most magical places. the idea of going to Disney during Christmas was a must for all-nai nai, me, papa and of course you!!! momom ended up getting more than she had expected.I went anticipating a magical time and I got that and I saw Jesus.
as we were settling ourselves to watch the parade, we happened to sit next to a mom with her son & her mother-in-law. parade seating takes strategy and we ended up strategizing first row comfort in the midst of small talk. her hubby came later with another boy and received a call. he was right next to me and I heard him tell someone they'd lost another son 3.5 yrs old during a routine tonsil surgery 3 weeks ago. 3 weeks ago!!! I'm sorry if I squeezed you too hard, but I was so shattered when I heard him speak; hide away as he spoke so the kids wouldn't see and his wife holding back tears as he spoke. Listening to her hold his hand and speak of how God knew best, had a purpose etc. I obviously had to say something and they were just so open, gracious and so faithful. I couldn't stop telling them what amazing parents they were. and of course as the parade ended I prayed I could hug them and when she looked up to say goodbye, I did. I don't think he was much of a hugger but he let me:)) everything about the way the touched each other when one seemed to be about to breakdown; the way they held their boys; the way they made the parade so magical for the boys, and constantly thanking the twin of the deceased boy for being so good and patient. everything about this family screamed Jesus, and I felt so humbled to have known them even for an hour. Since Thursday I haven't stopped thinking about that sweet boy and his family. I never met him, yet he's inspired me to do better and be better in the last couple of days. and to most of all treasure the time I get with you ALWAYS. After I told Nai Nai & papa I know all three of us were so poignantly reminded of how powerful and truly beyond magical Jesus is. He is the Truly everything everywhere. There's nothing more spiritual than feeling like you saw Jesus during Christmas time and at Disney.
as you would say babes 'amen hayeyuya'
good times...
Parade & fireworks...
