"For in our suffering, not apart from it, Jesus enters our sadness, takes us by the hand, pulls us gently up to stand, and invites us to dance. We find the way to pray, as the psalmist did,"You have turned my mourning into dancing" (Ps 30:11), because at the center of our grief we can find the grace of God."

Amen. Bring on the dancing.
Amen! I can definitely look back on this season walking my mum through chemo that the Lord is MORE than faithful and does indeed take us by the hand. Bring on the dancing is right!
Brilliant! Am just reading "Home Tonight" by Henri Nouwen, he's a genius! Thanks for continuing to share such encouraging, thoughtful posts, I love reading your blog!
