I have just arrived at Center Parcs, ready for this weekends New Wine, Retreat to Advance conference. I absolutely love Center Parcs, I have so many fond memories here as a child on holiday with my family, such a beautiful place.
Having arrived, and waiting for my fellow villa mates whom I’ll be enjoying the weekend with I thought I’d grab myself a coffee in Starbucks, which by the way excited me greatly when I found out my favourite 2 places had been combined!
I love sitting in coffee shops on my own, sounds really sad! But I just love watching the world go by! There’s something quite peaceful about seeing the world while grasping a warm coffee mug! Especially today as it’s pretty miserable outside, so I am enjoying watching the shivering bypassers hugging their umbrellas. (this will soon evaporate when I become one of those, only without the Luxery of an umbrella!)
Anyway, its making me think. This world is amazing, I love how everything is so unique, how every day is completely different to the last. I love how there is not a formula for anything.
Sometimes I forget how amazing it is that actually every single person has been made in such a mind-blowingly unique way, how no child is the same as another, even those raised in the same family in the same surroundings.
I love how you can listen to a song, and one day it brings happiness and joy beyond belief, but the next day it makes you sad.
Or when you watch a film which brings inspiration and wonder, yet the person next to you is half asleep waiting for the dullness to end!!
Isn’t this a beautiful world? We never know what is going to happen next, we can plan and organise all we want, but we all know it’s probably not going to happen as we’d expected.
I do love this world, and more importantly, the one who formed it. Nice one mate, I think your on to a winner here!
