dancing with the stars

"Let them praise His name with dancing and make music to Him with timbrel and harp." Psalm 149:3

There's one big problem with Summer Break... it's the dreaded Summer Reading Slump.  When students break from their reading routine, the brain wanes. Three years ago, to fight the slump and encourage Summer reading, a Fall dance party was planned to celebrate our Summer reading stars.  It quickly became a fun, successful foot-stomping tradition at school.

Father, life can be hard and difficult, and at times down right ugly.  But it doesn't stay that way.  I am thankful for times we can break from routines or stressful times and celebrate.  To laugh and move with a joy-filled heart is pure medicine for the soul.  May we continuously look for occasions to celebrate ...and may we remember daily our greatest reason for celebration is You and Your gift of eternal life.

Shake a leg, swing your head, 

sing a song and thank God!

Praise Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all you shining stars.

we are loved and chosen by God,

may we live like we believe it!
