Hi everyone...I received this from a friend today, enjoyed it, and thought I'd share it here with all of you...Mena...xo

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 be 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.
I hope you dance.

    Mena, this is a beautiful post. I must admit when I saw the title I was afraid it was in reference to Karen.

    I think we are all just a little more reflective today. Thanks again, Brenda
