"Look at what I've done for you today: I've placed in front of you

Life and Good
Death and Evil.

And I command you today: Love God, your God. Walk in His ways. Keep His commandments, regulations, and rules so that you will live, really live, live exuberantly, blessed by God, your God, in the land you are about to enter and possess. I call Heaven and Earth to witness against you today: I place before you Life and Death, Blessing and Curse. Choose life so that you and your children will live. And love God, your God, listening obediently to Him, firmly embracing Him. Oh yes, He is life itself"(Deut 30:15,16,19,20)

Dancing With God.

As the trees sway in the wind, the grass bows down to His breath, the leaves swirl in His whirlwind, the snow - glittering like diamonds - being gently lowered to the ground, He leads me in the dance of life.

I follow His lead, most times. Occasionally even stepping on His toes as I try to lead. We twirl and whirl in the grand room of life - together - as I firmly embrace Him. I listen obediently as He whispers in my ear which steps we'll dance. When we rest and gather our energy for the next set, I draw strength from Him.

I have chosen His way of Life and Good. In doing so - I live, I really live. Exuberantly and blessed by Him.

I have fallen madly and deeply in love with my Lord. My Abba. My Daddy. My very bestest friend. And today as I look out and see the amazing beauty of His spring, I yearn to dance with Him. To laugh with Him. To celebrate with Him.

I am so thankful my husband and children dance with Him too. Delight in Him as He does them and me. That they follow His lead. I am so thankful that they see themselves as a light wherever He has them dancing.

I have looked and seen. Before me He placed

Life and Good
Death and Evil.

I have chosen Life and Good.

Live and God.
