DANCE! DANCE AGAIN!! KEEP ON DANCING!!!

There's a background for this but until I clear the tears from my eyes see what these pics say to you. Having heard from an eulogy of a larger than life type person---full of grace, always ministering to others who had struggled at different times in life but God in his love and mercy had used those stumbles and struggles to comfort others. (2 Corinthians 1:3-4) That was worth the pain. Hard times, medical scares, painful times, times of loss are always worth it when one can lead others to Jesus!
I have so stumbled in my own life!
But God has not given up on me. 
Perhaps, I don't need to give up on myself.....with His help!

Maybe that's just enough said.

Dancing DANCING AGAIN

To all my prayer warriors & encouragers, I want you to know that I appreciate your prayers, love, wit, puns, Encouragement and concern! I am dancing again but this time it is at Baptist East Hospital ICU room 215! Once again the Lord has turned my mourning into dancing! I am just doing it while I am all wired up—figuratively & literally.
Next test will be at 4:30 PM central standard time.
🥰 & hugs to all! I hope you dance! It’s the life of abunDANCE. I know that for sure exclamation

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways  acknowledge Him and He will direct your path. (Proverbs 3:5-6)

A Dance continued...


10/8/11 ... in Timothy Keller's book, The Reason for God; Belief in an Age of Skepticism, as The "Dance of Love." "God really has love as His essence." (Keller p. 216) G. K. Chesterton wrote 'for the Christian it (love) is the purpose of God.' (Keller p. 216) A dance of love is a dance of relationship. If in the pursuit of life, one is drawn to money, power or success/accomplishment over human relationships, that person is "sitting out" the dance of love. Those self-centered pursuits are not about relationships. "Self-centeredness destroys the fabric of what God has made." (Keller p. 217)

In the dance of love, take your place with the Lord. But God....doesn't want one to stay there as a way of shutting others out. The dance of love has an "other orientation." For believers, it's a committed relationship with both Him and each other. Choose to dance the dance of Love. See life as a big dance party, if you will. As the Lee Womack song says, "Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance. I hope you dance. I hope you dance."

But you can't go it alone. The Dance of Love is all about relationships. Him first. Others next....and the dance continues.
