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 2010!

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it

Happy moments, praise God


Difficult moments, seek God

Quiet moments, worship God         

Painful moments, trust God

Every moment, thank God .......

Cubans are Cubans!

St. Peter came to the Lord and said: "I have to talk to you".We have some Cubans up here who are causing problems. My flute is missing, mojo sauce is all over the place, they are making guayaberas from their robes,they have domino tables in the cafeteria,and they are wearing baseball caps instead of their halos. They refuse to stop making Cuban coffee on the heaven's stairs and some of them are walking around with just one wing.

The Lord said:"Cubans are Cubans,Peter. Heaven is home to all my children. If you want to know about real problems,ask the Devil".

Peter calls;the Devil answers the phone:"Hello?.. Damn,... hold on a minute !. "The Devil returns to the phone O.K. I'm back.What can I do for you? Peter replies I just want to know what kind of problems you're having down there? The Devil again says hold on, hold on............. The Devil comes back to the phone .......... Man ! I don't believe this.......Hold on ! This time the Devil is gone for 15 minutes. The Devil returns and says: "I'm sorry Peter ,I can't talk right now.Those damn Cubans have put out the fire and are trying to install air conditioning !!!"
