Memories of Family Times At This Place

Wow, how time flies!

Seems like yesterday that as young children, Britt, Carla, Matt and I did a 'teaching' game here after we had our picnic of 'Coke & Snickers' . We did a blindfold of two and each of us gave verbal instructions to our 'blind' person as to where to walk around this garden area....the rule was that you must not place your person in any danger whatsoever, therefore you could trust the person giving you directions...
Then we traded off and the other two had the same experience...
.....Object being.....to experience, temporarily, the plight of a blind person first~hand, and also to know fully the meaning of 'trust' from a 'trustworthy' person even in the dark....
A 'test of faith' in another was made real that day to the children and their 'wacky' teacher/MaMa.
Ask any of these children/adults now, and they will tell you that they 'members' that day...
These Family Memories blessed me yesterday as Charlie and I walked around the Carillon Reserve Gardens and Park.
........A timely reminder, spiritually, that this is the way of Faith....
And I hear an echo from the past that says, "This is the way....walk you in it...safely"...
