Keep Thinking

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.

Good Dancer

Samuel Anstee: samuel@caerphillymethodistchurch.org

When one person realizes 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.

Bad dancing
Guidance

My eyes drew back to the word
GUIDANCE. When I saw "G," at the beginning
 I thought of God,
 followed by "u" and "i."
"God, "u" and "i" "dance."
God, you, and I dance! This
statement is what guidance means to me.
