Rebel in the house!

Everyone should have a night off and that's exactly what I've given myself.  A little snuffly and under the influence of paracetamol I decided, after a chilly stroll home after school with my girl, that despite being heavily laden with a burgeoning bag full of books to be marked I would not succumb tonight.  No, tonight it would be dinner , cuddles, snuggles, bath, hot chocolate with light reading accompanied by more snuggles and cuddles and then bed.  Yay, what a rebel I am!

It is good to just do nothing sometimes and just enjoy the stillness that we call peace and quiet.  Oh and some things can wait until tomorrow.  I gain so much from such times; fellowship with one special guest, my Father.  Awesome!

Before I retire for the evening may I share something with you that my cousin sent me earlier.  Read it and be blessed as I was.

Thank you Lord for early nights (day 31).

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 realises 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 Each New Day!
