Dancing In the Rain

Do you remember dancing in the rain as a child? There is something so freeing, so uninhibited of whirling around as the rain drops on your back. You aren't concerned with anything else in the world, because you are just dancing. You know it's there and that you are getting covered with water, but at the same time it is as if it is washing "something" away. I just loved it as a child, and so do my children.

As I watched Owen and Griffin just dance the other day I was reminded of a song my Young Life leader wrote and sang:

I can see the trouble in your eyes

And I see the smiles disappearing

But I know there's more to this life

Than the things we keep fearing

So let's not worry about the things that we can't change

Cause we've got so much to be thankful for

Christ died to save us all

So let it rain, let the water fall

I'll be dancing in the rain

I'm gonna take this time to celebrate

And I know my sun will shine again

But until then...I'll be dancing in the rain

I want my joy to shine right through

And I'm gonna share my hope with you

But I won't be frightened by this world anymore

Cause standing strong, and I'm holding on

To the hand of my Savior

What precious words! As I literally watch my children dance in the rain, my prayer is that they too will one day dance in the rains of life. When the water is coming down on every side. That they would just dance through those circumstances knowing, believing, and trusting that died Christ to save us.

May you too know, believe and trust!
