More on dancing with our husbands....
I noted to my good friend Shurleen yesterday that we had both just blogged on dancing with our husbands and she asked me an interesting question...
Paraphrased - What about when we don't WANT to dance with our husbands, when we are feeling out of step or just plain mad at them?
That was NOT the day LOL to ask ME that question.... but thankfully "Greater is He who is in me...." because I think God answered since I could not...
We are not only to dance with our husbands when we are happy, or like them, or are feeling full of romance... we are called to dance with our husbands ALL the time.
We need to realize that if we stumble or stomp on their foot or feel awkward or they STOMP on our feet.... that that is no reason to stop dancing... instead those are the times we ask that third partner to guide us...
have you ever watched a dance instructor place their hands on a student as a couple is learning to dance and guide them through a few steps... until the instructor slowly steps back and watches......... maybe still following the moves of the couple... but no longer physically guiding...
I like this metaphor... but in reality God NEVER lets go of us and as an infinite being He is able to hold and guide both of us at once. Now we can chose to fight Him and wrestle for control or we can take a deep breath, relax, and let the Creator of not only our dance, but ALL dances lead us.
