God's Vacation

It's vacation time for many of us. As for me and my house, we will follow the Lord and my husband back down to Disney. And yes, when we go I will have one more child on my hands. Not to mention myself who acts wholeheartedly like a ten year old getting my crazy on.
Still, it would have been fun to do something a little different. Going out west to see the Grand Canyon or Mount Rushmore. Heading east to Philly or Beantown or even New York. Taking the journey down South. Anywhere is good for me in the Motherland. But it's back to MouseTown we go.
Honestly, I do love it. The Magic Kingdom is my favorite though I do get pretty giddy over everything. Then I started thinking. I should be thankful we can go on vacation. Many people can't afford it. And some people never make it to Cinderella's castle. So, complaining is really pretty selfish.
I'm thankful my husband has a job. I'm thankful I have a husband. And, I'm thankful God has blessed us with this wonderful trip. I ponder, does God ever wish He could go on vacation? I mean, since that whole "and He rested on the seventh day" thing, He never really gets a break.
True, He's perfect and always with us so He doesn't need one. But if He could, where would He go? Then again, if He's always with us, doesn't He go on Space Mountain and Peter Pan? I'm sure He's laughing along with us especially as I scream my way through Mount Everest. Maybe God's vacation entails what He blesses us with. And enjoying every minute of His children's happiness as much as they do.
