anyway, most people regret actions in the short run and regret inaction in the long run. but for last night, i think it was an exception, cos i will regret this inaction!
anyway, stumbled upon another version of the foot prints. its about dancing! i always have this secret fantasy to dance with people i love, to enjoy life, to dance through life!! so thats why i will carry my dogs sometimes and make them dance with me (usually they wear either a pain expression or a bored expression)..
Imagine you and the Lord Jesus are walking down the road together. ForMuch of the way, the Lord's footprints go along steadily, consistently,rarely varying the pace. But your footprints are a disorganized streamof zigzags, starts, stops, turnarounds, circles, departures and returns.For much of the way, it seems to go like this, but gradually yourfootprints come more in line with the Lord's, soon paralleling Hisconsistently. You and Jesus are walking as true friends!This seems perfect, but then an interesting thing happens: Yourfootprints, the ones that once etched the sand next to Jesus', are nowwalking precisely in His steps. Inside His larger footprints are yoursmaller ones, safely you and Jesus are becoming one. This goes on formany miles, but gradually you notice another change.The footprints inside the larger footprints seem to grow larger.Eventually they disappear altogether. There is only one set offootprints; they have become one. This goes on for a long time, butsuddenly the second set of footprints is back.This time it seems even worse! Zigzags all over the place. Stops.Starts. Deep gashes in the sand. A veritable mess of prints! You areamazed and shocked... Your dream ends.Now, you pray: "Lord, I understand: The first scene with zigzags fits. Iwas just learning to follow you. But you walked on through the storm andhelped me learn to walk with you.""That is correct.""... and when the smaller footprints were inside of Yours, I wasactually learning to walk in Your steps; following you very closely.""Very good. You have understood everything so far.""...when the smaller footprints grew and filled in Yours, I suppose thatI was becoming like you in every way.""Precisely.""So, Lord, was there a regression or something?! The footprintsseparated, and this time it was worse than at first."There is a pause as the Lord answers with a smile in his voice. "Youdidn't know? That was when we danced."
"To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven:A time to weep, a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance."Ecclesiastes 3:1,4.
I want to dance with you. Give me friends and people to dance with too different seasons of my life. Bless me with a dance partner. :)
