One of the most amazing things about peeps some times is how we play things up.
The further you get away from an event, the bigger/better it was (if it was a good experience).
Think how surprised you were when you go back and look at your childhood home. The house shrank. the rooms shrank, the people you know shrank.
Now its easy to chalk that up to you growing.....but I noticed today, we went back to a park that we hadn't been to in several years, with my kids who are now 8,6,4.
It Shrank, and I'm pretty sure I haven't grown any taller
I'm chalking it up to the "fish story" effect....we had a great time the first time we went and built it up in our mind. turns out a 15 by 10 play area isn't really that big and we got bored after about 10 minutes.
Life changes, love your good times, learn from your bad times, Look forward, don't worry about going home again (the cliche is true - its never the same), trust God - He is the only constant you can depend on and He doesn't shrink, no matter whether you are growing, or looking elsewhere.
