Have you
ever ridden a zip line?
I've been on a little one! We put one up at my church’s
VBS party. Thrill-seeking boys jumped on, but then looks of anxiety and even tears, prevailed. I felt I needed to get on and break the fear
factor. After all, if Miss Annie could
do it, they would know they could too!
I have never
liked heights or thrill rides, so inside, I was a mess! My stomach knotted up. Would I lose the hot
dog I just choked down? That would not comfort anyone! I couldn’t let tears show.
Just then, I
noticed a friend looking up at the zip line with inquisitive eyes; her husband
emphatically shaking his head. I never
suspected the church secretary would want to go on a zip line! I asked.
The next
thing I knew, Terry was climbing the pole beside me. My eyes darted, looking for a way of escape as
the harness was clipped in place. But I
could not let my friend down! And those
event workers were fast! Before I knew
it, we were flying and I felt something unexpected coming up out of my belly…
laughter! It was fun! After that, the words, “Again!” were heard
on the lips of every kid.
I have found
the same to be true with children’s outreach.
It’s an adventure that at first seems scary but ends up as a pile of
fun! In this blog, you will hear some real life adventures that caused me to cry out “Again!”
How about
you? Are you ready to join the
adventure?
Remember, every adventure is way more fun with a friend!
