we're gathered together
to worship You
To love one another
And as we pray,
And as we sing
And as we dance,
And as we dream
Oh Lord I beg of you Just this one thing...
Won't You dance with me?
Throughout the Heavens
And below the sea.
Up on the mountaintops
Flow with the breeze,
Come cary me,
Lord won't you dance..........
with me?
I’m spending this week-end with my two best friends since elementary school. We are having a “mini” reunion. We do this a few times every year. Next week-end, I will gather with loved ones for my mother’s family’s reunion. Another wonderful time of celebration. I recently attended Lamar’s family reunion and, with that gathering, my family grew.
Reunion is a wonderful word that represents a time for celebration, joy, catching up, and sharing with those that we care about. I have always enjoyed time with my reunion group and look forward to our time of celebration!
Last week, Lamar’s Aunt Jenny died. She was one beautiful lady. I had just begun getting to know Aunt Jenny when she died and I mourn the fact that I didn’t get to know her better. I loved her the first time that I met her and felt her love right back at me. Though we are all mourning, I can’t help but smile as I envision her at the greatest reunion of all—her reunion with loved ones passed before her and with her Heavenly Father. What a celebration of joy that must be! Give everyone a hug for us—and—Dance away, Aunt Jenny!
Lord, you provide.... you provide for those of us who join our hearts in reunion. You provide as we celebrate - and you provide as we mourn. Thank you, Lord for hope - thank you for the hope of grand reunion where the laughter, joy, celebration, and dancing is more than we can even imagine. Thank you for Aunt Jenny, and for all those whose lives crossed our paths and forever changed who we are. Amen.
