<p><em><strong>Dancing With God </strong></em></p>
<p>When I meditated on the word <strong><em>Guidance</em></strong>, <br />I kept seeing <em>&#8216;dance&#8217;</em> at the end of the word.   <br />I remember reading that doing God&#8217;s will is a lot like dancing.   <br />When two people try to lead, nothing feels right..   <br />The movement doesn&#8217;t flow with the music,   <br />and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.   <br />When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead,   <br />both bodies begin to flow with the music.   <br />One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back   <br />or by pressing Lightly in one direction or another.   <br />It&#8217;s as if two become one body, moving beautifully.   <br />The dance takes surrender, willingness,   <br />and attentiveness from one person   <br />and gentle guidance and skill from the other.   <br />My eyes drew back to the word <strong>Guidance</strong>.   <br />When I saw &#8216;G&#8217;: I thought of God, followed by &#8216;u&#8217; and &#8216;i&#8217;.   <br />&#8216;God, &#8216;u&#8217; and &#8216;i&#8217; dance.&#8217;   <br /><strong><em>God, you, and I dance. </em></strong>  <br />As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust    <br />that I would get guidance about my life.   <br />Once again, I became willing to let God lead. <br />My prayer for you today is that God&#8217;s blessings   <br />and mercies are upon you on this day and every day.   <br />May you abide in God, as God abides in you.   <br />Dance together with God, trusting God to lead   <br />and to guide you through each season of your life.   <br />This prayer is powerful and there is nothing attached.   <br />If God has done anything for  you in your life,   <br />please share this message with someone else.   <br />There is no cost but a lot of rewards;   <br />so let&#8217;s continue to pray for one another.   <br /><strong><em>And I Hope You Dance!</em></strong></p>
<p>I know we all have different spiritual beliefs and affiliations, but I thought this was very interesting and quite thoughtful.</p>
<p>May you have a fabulous weekend and to all the dad&#8217;s, have a wonderful Father&#8217;s Day!</p>
<p>In gratitude,<br />Deanna</p>
