Today I am choosing to postpone my reaction to the Lockdown extension in view of Good Friday. Not because I don't respect our Prez but because I respect Jesus more. For some reason I woke this morning at 04h00, moments before a storm broke and it started to rain. I was instantly reminded of the darkness and earthquake the Bible tells of when Jesus exhaled his last breath. In the shadow of this picture it was as if the virus did not exist but rather a silent witness of a spirit world we have no clue of. One that is governed by a completely different set of rules than the world as we know it. That is why I offer up a prayer for all in this Lockdown to look past what's before them and find solace and salvation in the arms of our Risen Redeemer.
So today I was an onlooker into the relationships closest to me, silently displaying my shortcomings as a human being, but also showing off the amazing grace and mercy I am afforded. I vow to still my soul and let my spirit tune in.
Speaking of a tune, all day long I had ABBA's Dancing Queen playing in my mind, and I kept on wondering why this song in this day of all days. I even googled the karaoke lower key version, obviously bringing back lots of memories. And somewhere during the day it hit me: I should dance every day as if I were the dance floor queen, and know that real joy is there for the taking, every minute of every day. So my new anthem will be Dancing Queen. Let's start to dance to the rhythm of heaven today as an act to remind us that God's got this!
Wow, this is awesome!
