Dancing with God

Dear William,

I got this email today from Dadda's Aunt Sue and wanted to share it with you.  Mommy and Daddy hope you dance!

Love,

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.
And I Hope You Dance !
