I Continue To Dance

This house I live in chose me long ago, because somehow I had already been there before it was completely built. I remember that I had gone upstairs to see what it was like, and when I arrived in the master bedroom I remembered that the sliding glass door was opened and the partially closed vertical blinds flowed gently in the wind. God heard me say then if I were to live here that I would have enough space to dance and glorify Him. Up against a range of beautiful mountains my house does reside. When I desire I move the blinds aside to gaze upon the beautiful Catalinas so grand and tall. I am never truly alone here for my Father God and my little dog keep me company, keep me loved and happy. Full of unspeakable joy; as do many of my neighbors here. My hope is that I do the same for them. I have lived without a TV for quite some time now and do you know what? I don't miss it much and really not at all! For the news didn't always have the greatest things to say about the state of affairs that we are in; how evil man can be; who killed who; famine and diseases seem to reign inside the world's headlines. When there are good things to report it seems precious few. But inside this house with the music always on I continue to dance and praise Him; and I pray for everyone and everything that needs prayer. I lift it all to the Lord as I continue to dance and praise. And then things become brighter and full of certain hope even if there seems to be outside a howling wind. S.E. Clark copyright 2015
