Monday Morning Inspiration
Good Morning My Beautiful Sisters.
I hope your day and your week is off to an amazing start.
Well, if you have not figured it out yet, I love music and I love songs that are al, uplifting, thought-provoking, and positive. This morning I was led to a song that I have not heard in years, yet it is one of my favorites. After listening to I Hope You Dance over and over again, I thought what a great message for us. So, my sisters, I hope you dance. I hope you dance through life, no matter what obstacles life seems to throw at you. I hope you dance no matter what anyone says about you. I hope that you will help others dance by holding your head up, holding their hands, and showing them that they can dance through it all. I hope you can look back at what you have been through and dance. I hope that against all odds you dance. I hope you dance as you look forward to what God has yet to come.
I have an image in my head now of all of us dancing freely despite the past, despite what others might say or think. What an absolutely beautiful site it is. I hope you embrace these lyrics and if you feel like it, I hope you dance this morning.
I Hope You Dance I hope you never lose your sense of wonder You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger May you never take one single breath for granted God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance, I hope you dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance Never settle for the path of least resistance Living might mean taking chances but they’re worth taking Loving might be a mistake but it’s worth making
Don’t let some hell-bent heart leave you bitter When you come close to selling out reconsider Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance, I hope you dance I hope you dance, I hope you dance
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone)
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance, I hope you dance I hope you dance, I hope you dance I hope you dance, I hope you dance
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone)
Today’s Scriptures Psalm 149:3 ESV “Let them praise His name with dancing, making melody to him with tambourine and lyre!” 2 Samuel 6: 14-15 <airmail.calendar/2022-02-11%2006:14:00%20CST> Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might, while he and all Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouts and the sound of trumpets.
Today’s Prayer God, we thank you for this day. We thank you for giving us all that we need to enjoy life as we endure life. Help us not to be bound by the words of others. Help us to never lose our sense of wonder and help us to never take you for granted. God, there is so much going on these days that are meant to be distractions. Help us to pray through them and dance all around them. As we dance through them help us to learn from them. As always, thank you for choosing us to serve for you and to lead for you. It is because of you that we have the strength and the desire to dance. So, we will dance because of you and despite all obstacles. In Your Son Jesus’ Name, Amen.
