SJT: Shall We Dance?

Sojourners,


Christine asks, "Shall we dance?" 

Yes! Today I am dancing. Today my husband and I are driving to our daughter's graduation from her university. 

Just yesterday she was in preschool

We're dancing because this daughter has turned waiting, hard work, and a dash of life's frustration into triumph. This daughter who started out life with what may have seemed like insurmountable challenges to some will walk across a stage covered in cords and sashes of honor for the excellence she has demonstrated in her field of study.

I am dancing because there is nothing other to do than embrace this moment of celebration and move to its music.

Wherever you are, turn up the volume...join us!

  3. Linda, every line exudes joy. Congratulations to your daughter and the family on this celebratory day and the rich victory of overcoming. I love those verses from Ecclesiastes 3 and almost used them myself.
