Is Blogland like Neverland?

There are moments in time when I think that there are no obstacles that I cannot overcome, just like Neverland. Then I find myself faced with an issue or dilemma that I cannot work through or I cannot see past that problem. Back pain is like that problem, on good days I think of all the wonderful fun things I would like to do with my grand kids ~ for instance take them to the zoo and see everything through their eyes~imagine what it would be like to be a child again and see the elephants or giraffes or monkeys!! Oh my! Those things are still wondrous to me and to think of how the kids see them. It's just overjoyful (not sure if that's a word)!
BUT then I remember I can't walk for any distance~ I can't really even stand up for any length of time. Is this a pity party? Yeah probably. In Neverland Peter Pan can fly & Tinkerbell can too. They don't have problems getting around. Neverland is not perfect though. Neverland has it own huge problem~Captain Hook. And didn't you feel a little bit sorry for the Lost Boys? Yeah they had each other and all that fun stuff, but they were Lost and without parents to guide and direct and love them.
There are no happy wonderlands without problems; the key to living life and dealing with those obstacles in our wonderland or neverland is prayer and contentment. Contentment can be difficult to achieve. Paul teaches on contentment in the book of Philippians chapter 4 in the New Testament.
^"11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. ¹² I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. ¹³ I can do all this through him who gives me strength."
This passage is the answer to my pity party. Sometimes its very difficult to accept this as an answer because I would rather wallow in my self pity. I get a bad case of the "why me Lord?"s. Through much whining and pleading and praying for God to change my circumstances I finally remember to look for God's leadership and His invitation for me to draw close to the goal; again Paul's words in Philippians 3:
^"13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, ¹⁴ I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
I ask for God's strength to guide and direct my journey and lead me in the paths that He has planned for me.
Sorry to share my flaws & weaknesses with all of you in Blogland.
