Change: Its about THE DANCE

Standard

He cradles us and delights in our trust.  He sings over us songs of deliverance and friendship and the dance.  He invites us to invite others into the dance that will never end but reflects His sufficiency in each new stanza.  Our partners may change faces but it is really Him in each refrain.  But must we change?  I am happiest with THIS SONG!  I know this one best but I feel the change is at the door and it feels like death not new beginnings.  Am I allowed to grieve?  Must I celebrate?  Must I dance?  “Yes, my beloved, dance!”  You smile as only you can, a smile that comes from a broken heart that carries our griefs and bares our sorrow to free us to love and receive love without borders.  “Yes, DANCE!” You laugh, “But let Me lead!”

Flowers, Sagamore Bridge, Cape Cod Canal, Plimouth Plantation

Standard

Our last vacation day was going to be a ferry trip to Nantucket island.  Again, a lifelong dream of mine.  But we had a late start and discovered the round trip alone would take 4 hours of our time.  That and our late start became the deciding factors for creating plan “B” which turned out to be the most awesome and  wonderful day ever!!!  We set out looking for antique row and ended up visiting a gorgeous farm and jams store.  It had a lovely pond, a small reptile zoo and wonderful gardens.  As our search progressed we stumbled upon an enormous bridge spanning the Cape Cod canal. This canal, built between 1933-1935 is the widest canal on the planet.  It shortened the trip around the Cape from 3 days to 30 minutes!  It was in exploring the jetty next to the mouth of the canal we met several new friends that helped fill in the blanks on the history of the region.  Then,  finally as we were overlooking a bluff we met a skateboarding girl that suggest we check out The Plimouth Plantation. The visitor center provided tours of an actual indian village, a pilgrim village, a craft center and a replica of the Mayflower.  All areas were staffed with real indians and people dressed and in character of the period.  It was phenomenal!
