How do you Dance the Dance? You know your daily dance, the one that starts while you are still laying in bed. What do your thoughts immediately go to? Is it a YES, morning, I LOVE morning. Or maybe you like the ugh, 5 more minutes. Maybe its more of not another day, there is so much to do. How about thank you Jesus, for another day, help me dance with you and not on your toes. Lest today's pace be not mine but yours.
I can tell you what my day does not start out with and if you have known me anytime at all, it would be the first choice. The whole woo hoo its morning thing, is not my thing. My sweet husband could say something sweet to me, but it is probably best not too. However, I do try to make the last choice in some form or fashion my choice. I find asking for help first thing makes my day, go a little better, even a little easier. Think about it this way your first thoughts are going to be what brings you threw your whole day not just the morning, but the whole thing. Am I saying that each day is perfect absolutely not, but dancing with the Maker and not against Him is a lot easier.
I have been learning (daily) when I give Him my day and reassure Him it really is His and I am here to do what He has planned for me and not what I have planned for me. My days even though slammed packed, full from sun up to sum down. I don't have that rushed feeling everything just flows. I am not nagging children come on lets go, move, move, move. My pace (Gods pace) sets the pace for the rest of the house. When God is in charge completely, I can not step one his toes. I seem to notice, everything He has created, I can take it all in, praising God is not so tough. In fact it is effortless. Take today, we do everything today. We (the children and I) are moving non stop from one thing to the next. Even though we are running, I appreciated my run, there was extra time in the car to listen to his word, there wasn't traffic downtown this morning and there was a parking spot right in front of the store I needed to go to. Two weeks ago feeling rushed and overwhelmed, there wasn't a second to waste, I was cranky and so were my little ones. That day, I was all about toe stepping. That day the sun wasn't so shiny.
Take time with me to dance your daily dance with the Creator. I promise you will be in the presence of greatness. There will be something new and beautiful, you see everyday but toady it will be amazing. Take time praise Him and give God your day.
To build a family is to change a generation
What does that mean exactly? Have you ever watched some one build a house? The more time, detail and love the builder puts into the home, the more it can with stand. When he just hastily slops some walls up, slaps some shingles on, the more likely it is going to fall apart.
The more time, detail and love you put into a family the longer it will stand and change the way your children view family and life.
