Today I sit in the living room at Old Key West in Disney
World watching a beautiful sunrise coming up over the horizon.
I am now listening to the water in the pond
by our deck, and I remember yesterday walking with Abby while she happily
greeted a couple of ducks swimming quickly across to the other side of the little
pond.
When walking to the rooms that we
have at “Old Key West” I noticed some more of nature when observing salamanders
climbing up the trees.
They looked like
prehistoric animals, but on a much smaller scale.
As I sit here I notice a loud chirping coming
from our deck and notice my favorite bird, the cardinal.
She is eating an orange peel that was dropped
yesterday from our table.
I recall
telling my son not to throw the cut up peels over the railing because it was
considered litter.
I could see that he
was disappointed, he told me that he wanted to feed the birds.
Now as I look out the window I see little
orange peels on the railing, ones that I put there.
It is funny what children can teach us, isn’t
it.

Today we will go into Epcot to enjoy the rides and mostly
the events going on.
Abby and Will
though enjoy more of the science exhibits and the world showcase found at
Epcot.
I have to say that I do as
well.
My favorite is Norway with its
displays of the past and the present.
My
favorite foods though are found in Germany.
After living in Germany for two years in the Army, I have to say that
their culture is very much like that of where I grew up in southwestern Minnesota.
One sees the similarities of having German/Norwegian
influences in being raised in our part of the United States by observing the
culture here at Epcot.

Perhaps what I notice the most while at Disney is the
people.
They come from every state and
nation of the world.
This is truly a
melting pot of people having fun and enjoying all that Disney has to
offer.
For some, it is a lifetime dream
to be here, while for others it is an annual event.
Each is having fun exploring all the very
interesting exhibits.
All in all, I love
watching people and the fun that they are having.

When walking down the busy fairways I can’t help but think
of what it will be like in heaven.
All
these people that I see, many will be there and a whole lot more will be
present that are not now in front of me.
It staggers the mind to think of so many people being in heaven, all
around me.
I am a person that loves to
be around people, but so many, how will we all fit?
Where will privacy come into play?
Will there be forests, streams, and lakes in
heaven?
What of the wildlife, will we
have them around us?
I now recall an
answer once given from a very discerning mother, “I believe God will supply all
that you need in heaven to make you happy my child.”
