Dancing on Diamonds

Vacations are fun, relaxing, exciting and refreshing; but home is.... well, home is home. Its good to be back in GA this morning. True, no sunrise to watch over the ocean, but the fall weather is wonderful and a new season is dawning as summer comes to a close. This morning I'm straining my emotional and spiritual eyes to see what this new season will bring. Of course all I see is cool weather, pretty trees, lots of leaves to rake and snuggling in by the fire. But my Father sees more.

I know its true, the natural reflects the spiritual, so I'm pondering on where I am in the natural. To some people I'm in the fall of my life, to others I'm only beginning. To God, I'm right where I am supposed to be. His timing is always perfect and His love is greater than any plans the enemy can conjure up.

Today I can walk out my door and put one foot in front of the other with a confidence that He is guiding my every step. There is comfort in knowing that if I turn to the right or to the left I will hear a voice saying, this is the way, walk ye in it. What a happy thought - - - if I could skip I would. And dance in the field with my dear friend, wearing wildflowers in our hair.  (You know who you are and we will do that one day...ok, maybe in Heaven, but we will do it!)

Did you ever really watch a child run? They give no thought for where their feet hit the ground; they run with abandonment and strength; arms flinging naturally at odd angles and eyes open for whatever comes. Most of us cannot run like that in the natural, but we can in the spiritual. With an openness to see his face. O, the beauty of that face! Let's run today - and skip - and jump with excitement when we see Him.

These storm clouds looked very threathening, but that's all they did: threathen. A short time later they were gone and all they accomplished was to make the waves more fun to play in. Don't let the storm clouds spoil your day - the sun is right behind them.

Livin' in the season
