Dancing With God

        When I meditated on the word  Guidance,
       I kept seeing "dance" at the end of the word.
        I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing.
        When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.
        The movement doesn't flow with the music,
        and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.
        When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead,
        both bodies begin to flow with the music.
        One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back
        or by pressing Lightly in one direction or another.
        It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully.
        The dance takes surrender, willingness,
        and attentiveness from one person
        and gentle guidance and skill from the other.
        My eyes drew back to the word  Guidance.
        When I saw "G": I thought of God, followed by "u" and "i".
        "God, "u" and "i" dance."
        God, you, and I dance.
        As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust
        that I would get guidance about my life..
        Once again, I became willing to let God lead...
        My prayer for you today is that God's blessings
        and mercies are upon you on this day and everyday.
        May you abide in God, as God abides in you.
        Dance together with God, trusting God to lead
        and to guide you through each season of your life.
        This prayer is powerful and there is nothing attached.
        If God has done anything for you in your life,
        please share this message with someone else.
       There is no cost but a lot of rewards;
        so let's continue to pray for one another.
        And I Hope You Dance Through 2011


Thanks to Brenda Winkle for this one
