Not Such a Fairy Tale After All

Walking into church this morning we were handed a pamphlet with a story corresponding to what the sermon would be about. The title of the story was “Not Such A Fairy Tale After All”, and it was about the misconceptions we all sometimes have about life. Most likely rooted from our early childhood of losing ourselves in these dreams of being a wealthy princess with a handsome prince, we grow up to have somewhat of the same expectations. Reality does hit at times, and when it does it can hit quite hard. When we try and mask it with this idea of a fairy tale lifestyle we are only denying ourselves of truly enjoying the wonderful mediocrity of life! I truly came to the realization today sitting in church that I am so thankful to not be apart of some idealistic fairy tale story; I love the ups and downs of life, it is what keeps it interesting!
