Wishing everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I am truly thankful for my children who make me laugh (most of the time!), my family, friends who helped me through many rough times, a couple of Angels who have given me guidance when I was at a loss of what to do and to a very special person who I am very, very lucky to have in my life!

Dancing with God
Dancing With God
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. When one person realizes that, 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.
My eyes drew back to the word Guidance. When I saw 'G': I thought of God, followed by 'u' and 'I. 'God, 'u' and 'I dance.' God, you, and I dance.
As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust That I would get guidance about my life. Once again, I became willing to let God lead. My prayer for you today is that God's blessings And mercies are upon you on this day and everyday.
May you abide in God, as God abides in you. Dance together with God, trusting God to lead And to guide you through each season of your life.
"For J.....we always seem to "collide" on the outside, but I know in my heart... when all is quiet...when we shut the world out, we melt together. Miss you."

A Cup of Tea
Only a Mom would know
One day my mother was out and my dad was in charge of me. I was maybe 2 1/2 years old and had just recovered from an accident. Someone had given me a little 'tea set' as a get-well gift and it was one of my favorite toys.
Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when I brought Daddy a little cup of 'tea', which was just water. After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my Mom came home..
My Dad made her wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of tea, because it was 'just the cutest thing!'
My Mom waited, and sure enough, here I come down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy and she watches him drink it up.
Then she says, (as only a mother would know...)

'Did it ever occur to you that the only place she can reach to get water is the toilet?
