Dance With Me?

Dance With Me?


Dance in the sunshine,
Dance in the rain.
Dance when you're happy,
Dance in the pain.
Love always fills us,
Love always smiles.
Come with me, friend...let us dance for awhile!

Dance on your troubles,
Dance on your joys.
Dance for your daughters,
Dance for your boys.
Love is the answer,
Love is the key.
Come with me, child...let us dance and be free!

Dance with intention,
Dance on the fly.
Dance when you're laughing,
Dance when you cry.
Love is the journey,
Love always wins.
Come with me, stranger...let us dance and begin!

Blessings, Anna Marie

P.S. Miss watching you dance, Mom! I know you are dancing in Heaven!

Are you Suffering?

Every generation has had its challenges and troubles.
Every person will meet with trials and sorrows. 
Sometimes, it can feel as if the pressure will crush the breath right out of you.
But God.

Recently, I had an encounter with Jesus.
My heart was bleeding and I felt as if nothing would ever be okay again.
Suddenly, I saw Him on the cross.
He was looking at me.

He reminded me of His words, "He who has been forgiven much loves much."
Somehow, as I focused on His eyes, I received the understanding that in the same way, "He who has suffered much loves much."

I saw Him as He took not only ALL my pain, but also the pain of everyone who ever has lived or will live. The sorrow He bore for us was unfathomable

He did this willingly, selflessly, eternally...

This Love will never let me go. This Love will never let you go.

I can breathe again.

Eyes of Love

This morning as I was thinking of the day ahead, and feeling a heaviness of loss in my chest, the Lord sent a memory into my mind.

It was the day my mom died and we received a phone call from our son's fiancée that  they had been in a car wreck.  I rushed to the hospital and when I saw my son lying on the gurney, I was entranced with what I observed:  There he was, with a neck brace, gazing with intense love into his beloved's eyes, while she stroked his hair.  What a picture of love and peace.  Immediately, the Lord Jesus spoke to my heart, "Keep your eyes on me, adore me, let me adore you, and you not be consumed with pain."

I turn my eyes upon You this morning, Lord.  I love You, and adore You.  Help me love You more!
