I reserved an overnight stay at a family hotel that had an indoor adventure and water park. My sons and family were planning on staying overnight last night and celebrating their birthdays. However, one of my sons wasn’t well. So, I cancelled the overnight stay, but took my other son, daughter in law, and two grandchildren to the place just for the afternoon. We had so much fun playing mini golf, bowling, rock climbing, and I even did the ropes course. I had never done that before and thought I would give it a try. Once I was harnessed in and at the top, I remembered how old I was. But I thought of a recent show I saw called “Limitless” with Chris Hemsworth. At first I thought the show was going to be about the Thor actor showing off how Thor-like he really is. But it was almost the opposite. In the first episode that I watched, he admitted that he had always struggled with stress and wanted to learn how to deal with it better. He worked with a psychologist who gave him challenges ending with walking on a crane extended from a skyscraper. The idea was that you can put your body through extremely stressful situations and teach it how to handle it. Then every day life stress won’t affect you as much. Anyways, that’s what I thought about as I made my way from one obstacle to another high above the ground. I focused on how to complete one challenge at a time. I was pretty proud of myself for doing it. Then after all that we spent a couple hours in the water park. We were all exhausted by the end of the evening. This morning my other son was feeling better, so we all went to brunch and to race gocarts. Then we came back to the house to share birthday cake with my sister and mom. It didn’t all go exactly as I planned, but we all had a great time and celebrated another year with my sons.

I Found God today having a couple of days of fun with my family.
